DescriptionDark brown, waleless cordouroy duster lined with brown plush fabric for winter weather. The duster has a wide collar, long sleeves with no decoration at the cuffs, and quilted acetate lining in the sleeves. The front closure is comprised of five silver snaps with decorated heads. Slash pockets with upturned welts are placed diagonally on the lower side fronts. They appear to be applied to a second layer of fabric curving out from the side seams. This makes the pockets appear to be patch pockets. The original sales/ charge receipt came with the coat.
