The liner of this black crested jacket has such an artistic appeal that you will most likely wish to wear or display it inside-out, whether than wearing it as a simply elegant accent.
Three books appear on the stone gray liner. One is opened to reveal a traditional painted ocean scene with sailing ships passing before craggy shores. Another shows ivory bamboo silhouettes on black. The third is closed, but the cover depicts a full moon rising over a grassy field.
