The coat is quilted and has long sleeves that flair in a wide circle at the wrist. There are big square pockets for holding the little incidentals that women like to carry about the house with them. This coat tops narrow two-piece pajamas in solid aqua broadcloth. These have the mandarin collar too but sleeves are short. Both coat and pajamas are completely color- fast and washable.
