A brick red "Sleeping Bag" coat designed by Norma Kamali and worn by André Leon Talley. The reversible coat is made of two layers of rip-stop weave nylon, with air pockets in between, to give it a puffy appearance and texture. The coat has long sleeves, a notched lapel, and side slit inset pockets. There are two rectangular-shaped seams sewn onto the front of the jacket, one on either side of the chest. The coat opens at the front center without any closures. There is no tag.
