Description

Loosely knit lavender wool women's jacket. The collar is formed by a folded over layer of knitting which extends down both edges of the front opening which gets wider towards the bottom. This folded portion is tacked to the body of the jacket to keep flat. The pattern is loosely knit with wide stripes throughout and the edges of the sleeves are more tightly knit. The overall shape of the jacket is short and boxy with the bottom edges of the front and back being the same length.
