Distressed brown leather jacket (.1) and brown sequin pants (.2) by Byron Lars. The jacket (.1) is made from distressed brown leather with textured brown leather panels at the collar, at the center front below the chest line and at the center back below the shoulders. It is fitted in the body and short, with slightly longer pointed front sides and a center point in the back. It has a standing collar and full-length straight sleeves. The jacket closes at the center front with a gold-toned zipper that begins at the natural waist, so that the bottom part of the jacket front does not close. The collar is decorated with rows of gold colored geometric textured beads and bands of exposed zippers. Each sleeve cuff closes with a gold metal zipper. Two (2) zippers are sewn at each front waist and at each front hip, for a total of four sets of two zippers.
