Navy blue double breasted pea coat fastening with six buttons and six button holes. The buttons are large navy blue plastic with an anchor and rope design (the navy fouled anchor) etched into them. They have four holes and they are sewn on with a 'Z' stitch. There are two additional buttons under the turn down collar allowing the lapels, which have button holes, to be buttoned over. It has two vertical inset pockets at the hips which are lined in cream cotton corduroy. The coat is lined in black rayon and has a makers label, a paper tag stapled to the lining with 'T2-39' handwritten on it, and 'THOMPSON S. L. 418 54 55' stencilled in white in three places on the lining.
