  1. I was just wondering... do you know of any extant lévites? There are a lot of fashion plates and other referencces, but I'm not sure I've seen any in museums.

    1. I feel like I did see one somewhere, maybe on the Spanish site? It was European, anyway. But there aren't any on my Levites/Turques pinterest board, so I can't point to it.

    2. That sounds vaguely familiar, actually. I'll poke around.
