Two pleats at front released at waist level, emphasised by decorative pattern in inverted V. Picot edged collar, ribbed turnback cuffs. Three buttons plus press-stud. Matching bonnet made from six shaped pieces, with chin strap and button. Both with woven label 'Mecca WH'. Bonnet also has a Utility label and there is the edge of another which has been removed from the coat. 3 swatches attached.
