Two box pleats begin just below the waisline in the center back, giving a bustle fullness to the back skirt of the coat. The large button is sewed at the top the pleats, one on each side. There are scallops around the outer edge. In the center, a man is depicted in armor holding a sword downwards standing in a small boat reaching to a girl standing on a shore.

There are two buttons on the left sleeve, one on the right, sewed at the top of the make believe cuff.
