Scope and content
Double breasted jacket in a cream linen fabric. At the front, the jacket has six, cream buttons with brown flecks, fastening by two of them on the right side. Where these two buttons have been stitched onto the jacket, two small, square, plastic, backing buttons have been sewn onto the inside to act as reinforcement to the outer buttons. The same has been done on the left side of the jacket, although the higher backing button on this side matches the button on the front. A further button is attached to the lining of the left side and fastens through a buttonhole on the right side which is concealed when the jacket is closed. Three smaller buttons fasten through button holes on each of the cuffs. Two spare buttons, one small and one larger, have been stitched to the bottom of the lining on the right side. The jacket has peak lapels with a buttonhole on the left lapel. The collar is decorated with a rust coloured, cotton twill trim with a herringbone pattern. The trim follows the shape of the collar in three stripes, connected at each end by a single piece of trim. An angled, welted pocket sits at chest level on the left side. Large patch pockets are found either side of the waist. At the front of the jacket on either side, halfway between opening and the side seam, there is a dart which runs from the level of the top button to the waist pocket. At the reverse of the jacket there is a fabric loop 4.5cm beneath the collar and a centre seam that runs the length of the back. A white zig zag stitch runs over the back and side seams and the darts. On the inside, the jacket is lined with a satin fabric with jetted breast pockets on each side. These pockets are lined in the same fabric as the rest of the jacket and can be closed using a button that fastens through a loop that hangs from the top seam of each pocket.
