A gray wool double-breasted coat with skull patches and star pins worn by Big Boi of Outkast. The coat has a notched lapel, a single center back vent, and full-length straight sleeves without cuffs. The jacket can be closed left over right or right over left, with buttonholes and buttons on both sides of the center front. Each side closes with five (5) large gray round plastic buttons impressed with an anchor design, making ten (10) buttons total. The topmost button on each side is under the folded lapel, with a slightly wider gap between it and the second topmost button. There is an inset pocket at each front side waist lined in cream cotton flannel. A small white skull and crossbones patch outlined in black is sewn at the upper portion of each sleeve just below the shoulder seam.
