Notes

: Image includes small sketch of back of garment. "Revers" refers to the lining of a garment, especially when it's meant to show in parts like cuffs and lapels. Note 2.) This coat is marked by interesting uses of solid and patterned colors on its body, pockets and lapels. The solid-colored pockets could be large patch pockets with slit pockets in their face, covered by flaps, or these could just be colored panels with the flapped pockets cut into them. Note 3.) Printed on image: "Designed by Pearl Alexander" "André 570 - 7th Ave. new York City Dec. 23, 1940"
