Scope and content
Safari style leather jacket in black. Jacket is front fastening and has a metal zip which is concealed by a storm flap that runs the length of the zip and fastens with poppers. The top popper of the storm flap sits under the collar of the jacket. This is a fasten down, point collar with poppers at either point. An epaulette with a popper fastening can be found at either shoulder. Four patch pockets with flaps can be found on the front of the jacket; two small pockets at either side of the chest and two large pockets at either side of the waist. Cuff straps are found at the end of each sleeve and these fasten with two poppers on each. At the back of the jacket, the seams curve to create the sense of a waist. At the waist, there is a half, faux belt. Seams at the back have been topstitched to reinforce them and to add decoration. On the inside of the jacket, the lining is made from a polyester fabric. This is slightly padded with criss cross stitching that creates a diamond pattern. On the left side of the inside are two welted pockets, one at chest level and one underneath. The edge of these pockets are bound in leather.
