Scope and content

Dark green tailored jacket with elasticated waist. The elastic is set 10 cm in from the centre front edge, and runs above the pocket around the back of the jacket. The elastic is secured on each end with a box-x stitch. The jacket chest is very loosely structured with a small canvas.

The front body pocket is a large curved edge patch pocket with a top stitched flap. The chest welt pocket has a twin needle stitch on either side. The centre front closes with three buttons, with a button hole on the left notch lapel. The sleeve has two buttons and a small vent opening. The inside of the jacket is half lined, with bound edge seams and a pocket on each side. The waist elastic is pulled through a cut hole in the channel at the side seam and tied in a knot.
