Until about the middle of the 17th century, garments like this elegant, suede short coat with slashed sleeves were very popular.
At first glance, this short coat is remarkable for its slashed sleeves and the row of loops that form the winglets at the shoulders. But the elegant gold Jacquard trim at the front and on the sleeves and the golden buttons also make this brown suede coat very decorative. The row of buttons that goes from the base of the collar to the hem at the front is completely functional, so you can wear this short coat open or closed as required. The golden buttons on the cuffs are for decoration only, but add a sophisticated touch to this handsome brown suede coat.
