| Full description: |
A mustard-brown anorak (pullover-style) with fur-trimmed hood. The stitching is brown. The anorak has a drawstring hood, waist and hem, with leather panels for the eyelets, black cord drawstrings and clear plastic cuboid toggles (the drawstring is missing from the hood). The hood is trimmed with brown fur which is falling off. There is a metal zip at the opening of the hood. There are no buttonholes or drawstrings on the cuffs. There is a large central breast pocket, with two diagonal openings and a round white plastic button on each pocket flap; the buttons are fixed with a metal pin and the corners of the pocket flaps are reinforced with leather. Between the neck and the breast pocket is a strip of leather. The back of the anorak is covered in stitching in a large diamond pattern. Inside the neck is a manufacturer's label with 'Robert Lawrie Ltd // London, W.1.' The anorak is very stained and has several holes.
