This women's wool coat is light yellowish-tan with gray velvet and braid trim along the V neckline. The construction features extensive soutache and braid applique on the front, with a closure of four covered buttons and braided loops. The long, narrow sleeves have fabric-covered buttons and pleats, while the cuffs are trimmed with soutache and braid.

Soutache is a decorative braid often made of silk or metallic threads used primarily to create intricate patterns or embellishments on fabric.
