              Dark olive double-breasted coat is equipped with six attached solar panels, encased in long rectangular holders with dark brown synthetic leather edging and clear fronts. The removable photovoltaic panels connect to cables threaded through black plastic stoppers on the coat's interior, designed to plug into lithium rechargeable batteries (now missing), which fit into small interior pockets. Loops sewn into the lining keep the cables organised. Included with the coat are a USB torch and USB cable.

              The coat features a wide turn-down whipcord cotton collar, with the main body crafted from a cotton and polyester mix with a polyurethane coating. The lapels turn down with buttonholes at the top, and the coat fastens with four pairs of dark mottled brown plastic buttons, with four functional buttons. There are two inset waist pockets with wide flaps in a darker olive green fabric. The cuffs are finished with wide cotton webbing bands, fastened by two small dark-mottled brown buttons. The back has a long centre vent, and a shoulder yoke lined in checked fabric, and the lower half of the lining is silver-coated, attaching to the outer layer with press studs to conceal cables and batteries. The bottom section is lined with a sewn-down panel of bright orange fabric.

              Single-breasted raincoat made from vulcanised cotton - a rubberising process that renders the coat waterproof. It has a concealed front placket with three black Hancock 1843 horn buttons and an exposed smaller top button. It has front angled welt pockets and a single back vent. The underarms feature three grommets for ventilation. The coat is lined in a vulcanised printed cotton with a repeat multicoloured graphic 'H' design on a navy background. The centre back has an additional strip of navy tape for further waterproofing. There is one internal patch pocket in a contrasting beige. The cuffs have adjustable tabs with two branded buttons on each. Interior seams and pockets are glued and taped by hand; a process called 'smearing' before being rolled flat using a hardened steel hand roller then finished with a rubber cleaning wheel tool.

              It is made of rubber bonded (vulcanised) 100% cotton. Two layers of cloth are bonded with a layer of rubber in between.
