Notched lapels, three button front. Patch pockets with scallop edged flap closures and matching smaller buttons at chest and hips. Two narrow stay straps at shoulders for boards if desired. Stitched "belt" seam detail, long overlap slit at back center hem. Gold eagle crest buttons are removable. Unlined and unstructured with a soft drape, and beautifully tailored.
