The sleeveless coat contains an abundance of draped material and reaches the floor when worn. The jacket is made from 100% cotton and boasts a textual print that consists of red, blue and black tones. These generic colors solidify the garment's scholastic theme because most pens range in these three colors.

While the coat will not protect the wearer's arms against chemical splashes, its silhouette is boxy and sterile.
