Buff & Blue: How George Washington Fashioned the Revolution

at Historic Rock Ford’s Fashions Lecture Series welcomes Chloe Chapin as she presents “Buff & Blue: How George Washington Fashioned the Revolution.” Was George Washington America’s first fashion designer? George Washington designed his own military uniform, and within fifteen years, men across America, England, and France were copying his look. In this talk, fashion historian Chloe Chapin will unpack the fascinating history of the iconic “buff and blue,” and how it had such a lasting impact on American style. This presentation will begin at 2 PM in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Visitors may park in the area located behind the Barn. Prior to the lecture, attendees may visit the Snyder Gallery and our 2026 Focus Exhibit. The Snyder Gallery closes at 4 PM.
