In the poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes, the highwayman is described as being fitted with weapons and riding gear that are always well-maintained and polished. This highlights his attention to detail and his dedication to his trade as a daring and romantic figure of the night.
The poem "The Highwayman" was written by Alfred Noyes (1880-1958):- THE wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding— Riding—riding— The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door. He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin, A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin; They fitted with never a wrinkle: his boots were up to the thigh! And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts a-twinkle, His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky... The above poem can be found in print, for example, in: Noyes, Alfred. Collected Poems. New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1913.

I suggest "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes. He describes the man like this:- He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead, and a bunch of lace at his chin; He'd a coat of claret velvet, and breeches of fine doe skin. They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to his thigh; And he rode with jewelled twinkle- His rapier hilt a-twinkle- His pistol butts a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky. It is likely that both the French cocked hat and the boots were black. What do you think?
