content: An oversized letterman-style hooded jacket of dark brown leather with dark ochre textured leather detailing. It has full-length sleeves and an elastic hem. The jacket closes at the center front with a brown plastic zipper. The sleeves are baggy with fitted cuffs that close with black Velcro. There are two diagonally inset pockets, one at each front side waist, with the opening trimmed in an ochre-colored textured leather. This same textured leather is sewn on either side of front opening along the waist, and in strips across the breast and along the back shoulders. The brown leather hood also features a wide strip of the textured leather down the center. The jacket interior is fully lined with an olive brown rip stop nylon, while the hood is lined with the dark brown leather. There are no interior pockets or designer labels.
