Comments

Delightful jacket. The quality of couched dragons is not the best quality but the embroidery is wll worked.

Condition

Very good apart from the top two loops, for securing the buttons being broken. We could repair these if you wished. Some of the gold couching is slightly lifting. This would need a few stitches. Becuase the jacket is unlined this would be very easy.
