DescriptionHip-length coat of heathered gray/cream/navy blue plain-woven wool, cut on the bias so that the fabric actually appears like a stockinette knit. The jacket fastens up the center front with five metal snaps, stamped with "BROWN'S/BEACH/CLOTH". Two slash pockets are on the left side, and one slash pocket is on the right side. The turn-down collar is 3 1/4 inches wide. The fabric is a fleecy navy blue on the inside--this is not a separate lining, but is part of the woven "beachcloth."
