The garment features a mock collar, long sleeves with layered cuffs, a full front opening with a zipper closure, 2 front vertical pockets at the waist, and a hemmed bottom. The pockets are finished with layered fabric. The sleeve cuffs, the side seams, the center front panels, and the bottom have topstitching. Decorative printing is on the left sleeve in the cuff area.
