Diplomatic uniform coat, 1790s. 

This blue silk coat belonged to Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (1746-1825), South Carolina lawyer, statesman and politician. Pinckney was the son of Judge Charles Pinckney and famed Eliza Lucas. Although he fought in the Revolutionary War, it is more likely that this coat is from his service as Ambassador to France under George Washington and John Adams. Pinckney became part of what was called the XYZ Affair, an attempt to establish relations between the American and French governments. He later ran for vice president with John Adams and then for president several times, but was never successful.
