Here that tradition is cut into outerwear: the patterned face is a grid of gilt-framed squares, each holding a navy elephant, a seated lion or a wheel, interspersed with clusters of red and green blossoms, and it carries the maker's copyright mark within the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silk is padded and quilted in a diamond stitch, with dark olive ribbing at the collar, cuffs and hem. Turned inside out, the jacket becomes a quiet khaki bomber with a centre zip and two slanted front pockets. One garment, two characters: a printed face for occasions and a plain one for every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured flat by hand: shoulder 55 cm (21.7 in), chest width 67 cm (26.4 in), length 73 cm (28.7 in), sleeve length 67 cm (26.4 in).
