A navy blue anorak (pullover-style) with hood. The anorak has a drawstring hood, waist and hem, with leather panels for the eyelets, round white textile cord drawstrings and clear plastic cuboid toggles (the drawstring and toggle are missing from the hem). There is an additional flap of material in the neck, below which is a strip of leather. Each cuff has a flap with one buttonhole reinforced with leather, and two round white plastic buttons secured with metal pins and reinforced on the back with leather. There is a large central breast pocket with a pocket flap and metal zip. The back of the anorak is covered in stitching in a large diamond pattern. Inside the anorak are two buttons – one at the front on the hem at the centre, and one on the back higher up. Fastened to the inside back of the anorak at hem level is a textile strap with two buttonholes reinforced with leather. This strap would be passed between the legs and fastened to the round white plastic button at the front hem to hold everything in place; when not in use the strap is fastened to the button at the back. Inside the front of the neck is a leather hanging loop, and at the back is a manufacturer's label with 'ROBERT LAWRIE LTD // LONDON W.1.'
