Green, head to toe. Once. A cropped jacket pieced from emerald satin and black leather, closed to the point, over matching wide-leg trousers with a leather stripe. Black pointed heel. Lunch runs long. The jacket stays closed. Old town, late afternoon.

A cropped jacket pieced from emerald satin and black leather, with raglan puff sleeves, worn over matching satin wide-leg trousers on a cobbled street.

The jacket is cut in panels: emerald satin through the body, black nappa leather across the yoke, the sleeve heads and a diagonal band that runs down the front closure. The raglan sleeves puff at the shoulder and gather into a deep satin cuff at the elbow, and the hem finishes in a short point that sits on the hip. The trousers are the same emerald satin, high-waisted, wide and long enough to break on the shoe, with a black leather stripe down the outer leg that ties the two pieces into one.

It is worn as a set, with the jacket closed and doubling as the top. A late-afternoon outfit for a city street with dinner on the other side of it, spring or autumn, when leather sleeves are useful and a coat would be one layer too many. A flat boot would make it daytime; it prefers a pointed heel and a straight face.

Green satin on cobblestones is a commitment. The cobblestones lost.
