A half belt to the back adds subtle shaping while retaining the loose, functional cut designed to be worn comfortably over clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grey marled fabric is particularly lovely and gives the coat a wonderfully understated utilitarian appearance. The sleeves can also be turned back at the cuff, as photographed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompletely unlabelled, its original manufacturer and precise occupational use are unknown.
