Style 81609 has a left-over-right, full front opening secured by six metal button closures; a hood of finely knit fabric with a lining of waffle knit fabric; a drawstring on the hood; patch pockets on the chest with flaps and snap closures; long vented sleeves with metal button closures on each cuff; and a curved, hemmed bottom with side vents. There is a woven fabric label on the right front panel near the hem.
