Each front panel is sewn to the single back panel at the side and at the shoulders. The back of the jacket is made from one panel of fabric with two 3.5" darts at the center back bottom. The inside of the jacket is made from self-faced fabric and the inside construction mirrors the outside construction. All the jacket seams are machine stitched together. There is no label.
