Item

1

Double breasted, woollen jacket in a Glen Check [also known as the Glen Urquhart Check]; a woven twill design of vertical and horizontal stripes consisting of large and small checks. Squares of houndstooth check can be found at regular intervals where the the darker and lighter areas meet. The check is predominantly black, grey and cream in colour with fine red, horizontal and vertical lines at regular intervals. Jacket has notched lapels, without a button hole. Four fabric buttons, in an identical check to the rest of the jacket, are visible at the front when the jacket is fastened. The jacket fastens by two of these buttons. A further black, plastic button is stitched to the inside left of the jacket and fastens through a button hole on the right side, which is concealed when the jacket is closed. An angled, welted breast pocket can be found on the left side of the chest and large, jetted pockets with flaps can be found at either side of the jacket at waist level. Halfway between the side seams and the opening there are darts which run from chest level to the pockets. About halfway down each sleeve is a scarlet band of viscose fabric, 0.5cm in width, running the circumference of the sleeve. This band is only attached to the sleeve at one edge so there is a slight flaps to it. Above this band, is stitched John Rocha's JR monogram design in red. There is a central seam at the back of the jacket and no back vent. Either side of the back seam there are darts which run from the shoulder seams at shoulder blade level and curve until they run parallel with the central back seam, where they straighten and run down to the hem. The inside of the jacket is lined in black viscose fabric. There are no internal pockets.
