A horizontally oriented jacket of cream silk damask features intricate floral patterns woven into its luminous surface. The open front is framed by a high, wide collar tapering into narrow lapels, with four small, dark buttons set on either side near the hem. Dramatically full sleeves are gathered at the elbows before tapering to narrow cuffs. Looking closer, shimmering threads reveal delicate blossoms and leaves integrated within the fabric's structured lustre.
