Description

Gail is a semi-fitted, straight-cut jacket lined with synthetic down insulation. It showcases horizontal quilting on the front and back and diagonal quilting on the sleeves. The front boasts bust darts for shaping, and the jacket features a shortened shoulder line and two-piece, set-in sleeves. Achieving a rounded sleeve silhouette is accomplished with a shaped overarm seam.

Gail also includes a stand collar and front welt pockets, with a center front closure through a separating zipper and zipper guard. Belt loops at the sides secure the tie belt, and Gail falls to a hip-length.
