His and Hers sporting dress from 1837, Journal des Dames et des Modes (Rijksmuseum).

"Robe & pantalon en lasting" caught my eye (apparently referring to the woman's clothes), and Valerie Cumming's fashion history dictionary defines this textile:

Everlasting, lasting

Period: 18th century to ca. 1840.

A stout worsted fabric with double warps and single weft. “A cloth with a shining surface” (1829).

I usually don't focus on women's dress but I really love her outfit with the pantaloons beneath her shorter skirt, and the beautiful stock with masculine frilled shirt! (Sporting dress and equestrian dress for women are wonderful for their masculine tailoring). Women's sleeves are pretty deflated by the late 1830s, but hers seem extra-tight and very 1840s-looking, perhaps for practical considerations. It also looks like she has a feminine version of Albert boots.

If anything, the man's dress seems less functional for outdoor activities, with his light coutil trousers that not only have a footstrap but seem to be almost covering his shoes.
