This outstanding military-style jacket by French haute couture designer Louis Féraud, himself a former French resistance officer, was made in West Germany in the late 1980s. The über-soft fabric is a blend of half angora and a quarter each of wool and cashgora and has a beautiful nap. The rounded shoulders and hem ending above the hip give it a very chic silhouette. It does up in front with three golden spiral buttons and between them are two additional concealed buttons. Six additional golden buttons decorate the front of the jacket along with black grosgrain ribbon. It is fully lined in a lovely black acetate fabric with a distinctive paisley pattern.
