Scope and content
Brown leather jacket with turn down collar and centre front zip fastening. The metal zip pull tab has 'Made in England' etched into it around a circle with 'DOT' inside and an extra leather pull tab attached. The jacket has two angled jetted pockets at the front waist lined in black cotton. The bottom of the jacket is slightly gathered to a waistband of leather which fastens with one brown plastic button and two side gussets of elasticated brown cotton (the elastic has perished). Each sleeve cuff fastens with a brown plastic button. It has slightly pointed yoke panels to each front side and a yoke panel across the back which has a shallow centre point. The lining is cream cotton which is soiled and stained in places from wear and there is a brown leather hanging loop in the back of the neck.
