Scope and content
White cotton jacket with a stand up collar. Jacket fastens at the front via five buttons [missing] and a double hook and eye fastening at the collar. There are four large pockets at the front of the jacket. Two button down patch pockets with pleats at chest level and two flapped patch pockets at the waist. The flaps on all four pockets have curved hems and are longer at the edges and the centre. There are popper fastenings at each of the corners of these pockets. Similar curved detailing can be seen on each arm towards the cuffs and also on the reverse of the jacket. Here there is a seam that curves from the shoulder blade on each side and runs vertically the length of the reverse to the hem. Either side of the waist there is a belt loop at the each side seam. On each shoulder there is a smaller loop where the epaulettes are attached. The jacket is unlined.
