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.

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.

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