Royal Navy issue PCS (personal clothing system) navy warm weather jacket with fire retardant coating. It resembles a shirt due to being so lightweight. It fastens with a centre front zip and velcro secured baffle and has two breast pockets that are secured with velcro tabs. It has wide straight sleeves so they can be easily rolled up with two buttons at each cuff to adjust when worn down. It has the White ensign flag patch on the left sleeve, an iconic symbol of British seapower. A black and gold submariner's dolphin crest patch is sewn above the owner's name 'Reed' embroidered in white on the left breast.
