Prussian general officers grey woollen jacket : German Army

German Army Prussian general officer's four pocket field grey woollen jacket with rank insignia of general lieutnant (lieutenant general). The edges of the stand and fall collar, front opening, and top of the folded back cuffs are scarlet. The small pocket, which has been let into each breast, has a pointed buttoned flap. Several small loops have been sewn onto the left front panel, above and below the left breast pocket, to support decorations. A pocket with a buttoned flap that slopes downward from the front to the back has been let into both sides at the hip. The eight metal alloy buttons down the front opening have a bronze coloured wash and bear the Prussian crown. The Larisch motif is embroidered in gold bullion wire on the scarlet collar flashes, which are made from a fabric with a coarse weave. Three strands of bullion braid cord have been plaited together to form the shoulder straps, which have a button on the inner end and are removable. The central strand of braid cord is silver with a single interwoven black thread, while the outer ones are both gold. A single gilt rank star is on top of both of the shoulder straps and they have a scarlet tape loop on the base. There is a 280mm vent in the middle of the skirt at the back of the jacket and it has two buttons that have a bronze coloured wash above it. Scarlet fabric has been used to line the inside of the front panels behind the buttons and button holes. The body of the jacket is fully lined with dark grey polished cotton. A tape loop has been sewn into the back of both of the arm socket seams. Both of the sleeves are lined with grey fabric that has fine black and white stripes. A large pocket with a slit opening has been let into the lining of the left breast.
