About MeThree-quarter length navy poult silk coat with fitted bodice flaring out to a wide panel skirt, displayed with a georgette scarf.

Poult silk has a cord like quality resulting from the way the silk is woven with a closely set warp, and heavier weft. Although poult silk is not waterproof it can offer considerable protection during the spring months.
