It is a coat and a cape at once. The body underneath is a proper double-breasted coat with notched lapels and epaulettes at the shoulder; over it, a full panel falls from the shoulder seam to below the hip on each side.
That panel is what makes it. Arms can go through the coat sleeves and leave the cape hanging behind, or stay inside entirely so the whole thing reads as one long sweep of cloth. The buttons run in two rows down the front, the collar is a wide trench notch, and the length runs well past the knee.
It is not a quiet coat, and it was never trying to be - which is the entire reason to own one.
