Army green serge that's held its color through decades, cut with the formal lines of a soldier's Class A — notch lapel, four flap pockets, a row of brass US-eagle buttons catching what light the room has. This is the coat worn standing at attention, the one folded into a footlocker and carried home. The label still spells out the orders: roll-press the sleeves, remove the gloss from edges and seams. Someone took that seriously once. The story is stitched into every seam.
