Richmond Depot Type II shell jacket. FHW sheep's grey on brown jeans cloth. Made from remnants.
Warp/weft 'lines' running vertically rather than normal cut which yielded a horizontal 'line' appearance. Did not
affect jacket integrity. Good, lught in weight, strong jacket. Sold as used due to remnant construction and unusual
selvage cut.
