Physical description
Narrow single-breasted black wool coat with long sleeves, high lapel and three button-fastening at centre front. The coat has a breast pocket on the right-hand side. The coat hangs straight to the ankle at the front while the rear finishes at the hipline to create a long U-shaped opening. The opening is framed by four layered panels of increasing width attached to the underside of the coat. Lined in black synthetic lining.
