"Blue gray silk moire; long, close-fitting sleeves, large lapels, stand-up and cape collars; buttons down front to floor; linen-lined bodice; Directoire Style" (169). You can see brown stains at the bottom of this coat, indicating it probably wasn't a very practical coat. It also doesn't look particularly warm. |
