Oh gosh, this coat has so much style! It is done in a beautiful wool in a deep navy that can read as black. It has military styling with epaulets, a flared bottom, a self belt and gorgeous tailoring. It is one of the nicest coats I ever owned, and I paid about $400 for it on clearance many years ago. I help on to it, hoping I would lose enough weight to fit it again one day. Worn twice on special occasions I remember well. The belt is missing 1 button, but this will not show- I have adjusted the price for this. It has a hidden button placket in front. I felt like a movie start when I wore it :-).
