This is a basic duffle coat. I loved it, but I don't wear it much because I often use a more casual jacket when going out with my child, so I'm selling it. I've probably worn it about 4 or 5 times. The lining is a beautiful green and navy check. It's a classic color, so I think students could wear it over their uniforms. The strings with the buttons are suede, so unlike stiff leather, they won't crack and should last a long time. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
