Jacket of brown cloth trimmed with white silk braid, with nine buttons of mother-of-pearl with cut glass pieces, lined with white silk. Model: diagonally cut front panels, standing collar, close-fitting sleeves with cuffs. On the back a central split with overlap and box pleats on both sides. The tails are cut off without further finishing or hem. Above the chest, at the level of the shoulder blades over the entire back, at the top of the sleeves (around the armhole) and in the standing collar a filling of horsehair(?) is applied for reinforcement. Two patch pockets with flaps, lined and trimmed with white silk. Decoration: finished all around with a braid or passe-poils of silk lined with twisted rope of hemp or flax. Nine scalloped buttonholes, of which the third to the fifth from the top are for use; the rest are for decoration.
