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.]
