Physicians in Colonial America oft wore a ditto suit, powdered grizzled wig (if he could afford it, or just natural hair tied in fashion, and/or powdered), with a black tricorn hat, and walking stick oft with silver or gold knob (often with a vinaigrette to hold to the nose on appropriate occasions). In England, most doctors wore all black. Americans did not hold on to all of those european habits. Some did wear Black Ditto suits in America ~ you can find Dr. Joseph Warren portrait in Black and in common fashion.
