The Piece

The coat is cut long in a tartan of red and dark green wool, with a wide shawl collar and deep cuffs in fitch fur, fur facings down the front, and a flared skirt. The belt is brown leather with a banded tartan section, and the lining is dark navy with a monogram weave. The label reads Louis Vuitton Paris, size 38, 100% wool, Made in France.

The label reads size 38, and the coat measures 40 cm (15.7 in) across the shoulders, 101 cm (39.8 in) in length, 44 cm (17.3 in) across the chest and 57 cm (22.4 in) in the sleeve, as stated. It comes with its belt, hanger and garment cover.
