The button front features a French placket with hidden snap under the collar. Single chest pocket with "Don" chainstitched embroidery above. The left sleeve has an "East End Fire Dept." iron-on patch, while the back features more chainstitched embroidery reading, "East End Fire Dept No. 1 Mercer, Pa." Curved hem.
