The standing collar features an ornate gold embroidered scroll design. Matching embroidered details appear on the cuffs and hem.




Condition Notes


This is a pre-owned formal jacket in used condition. The garment shows signs of wear consistent with occasional formal wear use. The gold bullion embroidery remains vibrant and intact throughout. The jacket maintains its structured shape and all embellishments are secure. No visible tears or significant damage noted. The fabric has a slight patina consistent with age and use, which is typical for formal wear of this calibre.




Styling & Occasion


This jacket is ideal for formal evening wear, ceremonial occasions, theatrical productions, military formal events, or as a statement piece for sophisticated formal gatherings. The ornate gold embroidery and military-inspired silhouette make it a distinctive choice for black-tie events or formal dress codes requiring traditional formal wear.




Care & Maintenance


Dry cleaning recommended. The gold bullion embroidery requires careful handling to preserve the metallic threads and decorative elements.
