Another one I've had for a while, outer shell rayon, lining, quilted red satin, khaki painted talon zipper slider, knits are real rough worsted wool, mouton collar maker I've never heard of, very nice jacket though, and a good fit, knits are different shades of khaki, was found in a vintage bale...
