Fabric: Welsh wool 
 
Style: Two-piece skirt half lined on petersham waist tape with a panelled zipped waistcoat with a cape that can be attached under the collar of the waistcoat.
 
Features: The waist coat is trimmed in brown wool has two patch pockets at the hip and a collar. The cape is also trimmed in the same brown wool edging.
 
Closure:
metal zip to the left side seam of the skirt with metal hook.
Nylon brown zip down the centre front on the waistcoat.
Cloak has three large press stud poppers at the centre back and at both sides of the top of the zip they are under the collar so unseen when you remove the cloak.
 
Ideal to wear for: so easy to wear, would look great with a brown baby blue or bright pink balloon sleeved blouse or a polo neck so called a ‘Skinny rib” in the 1970s, and boots, or you can split the suit as both pieces stand-alone well. With the choice or adding the cape or removing it for a more inside look.
