Description |
One dress coat-tails dark green with satin lapels. The coat has a serge? exterior with a black silk lining. It is double-breasted, with two rows of black buttons on the front. There are an additional two buttons on the back, above the tails, and three on each cuff. The black satin lining spreads out onto the notched? lapel. Nevertheless, the lapels are not entirely silk - a thick band of green serge is still visible around the outside. The front of the coat cuts off around the waist, leaving only the tails. There is a large seam around the waist of the coat where the tails are attached. Three small seams branch off from the waist and run vertically up the back of the coat. |
