... for (another) something that may never be written.

I pretty much quit posting pictures to the boards for a variety of reasons, but sometimes there just isn't any other way to describe things.

Tailcoat, steampunk, tails, equestrian, .... I get bits and pieces, but not quite what I'm looking for. Some kind of combination of these:

Long tails. I was thinking behind, but in front like that could work also.


Lower front cut, like this:

Maybe high collar like this:

Now, put it all together. Long tails, front and/or back, low front cut buttoning at the waist, single or double breasted, high collar.

I can't draw worth squat and have no shop'like skills to mangle images.

Object is a kinky formal celebration type presentation or ceremony.

Not much of anything else would be worn leaving the special bits uncovered.
 
The closest I can think of for a full put together of what you're looking at is a 'regency tailcoat,' although these were usually not cut so low in the front. The silhouette is about right, though. Check out images of e.g. Beau Brummel, and there are quite a few places online selling these kinds of historical clothes with, happily, models posing for photos wearing the items.
