Grey wool tweed jacket designed by Arthur McGee. The jacket has an open front, full-length straight sleeves with folded cuffs, and is trapeze cut falling at the natural hip. The collar is folded over and the lapels are straight and extend down the full front to the bottom hem. The jacket does not fasten shut. It is made from a dark grey wool tweed with a light blue grid woven design. There is a deep patch pocket sewn at the proper right front waist. The facing side of the bottom of the sleeves is made from a bronze silk with an all-over printed design of blue polka dots. This fabric is hidden when the cuffs are folded up, being lined in the wool tweed. The folded collar and front lapels are lined in the bronze and blue polka dot silk. The interior of the jacket is fully lined in the bronze and blue polka dot silk, which is seamed around the neck and front sides, but only loosely tacked along the interior bottom hem. There are no labels.
