In addition to the above, which is all a Xerox, this page also contains some handwritten notes in pencil that are related to fabric and style names.

The paper pattern contains 22 pieces.

The olive leather coat is cut with a stand collar, long sleeves, pockets sewn into each side seam, and olive leather ties that are strung through gold-tone metal grommets in the neckline and waist and forms the ties at the center front. The coat is lined with green plush.
