No. 817
The young lady who has a "Know" in style will immediately sense the style value
of this swagger-style coat. The patch pockets relieve the plain front and give it an
air of distinction. Notice particularly the herring-bone stitch giving the garment the
Tailored effect. The coat can be finished with machine stitching—or by hand. The
accompanying beret is finished in Red, White and Blue Ribbon. Notice too the
emblem on the beret.
