It has two front breast pockets with button flaps, and six buttons down the middle from collar to hem. There are horizontal seams across the chest at the top of the pockets, and two vertical seams extending from each pocket down to the hem. The hems along the collar, arm holes, and hem are frayed. The name "Mulholland" is sewn in at the collar. Joan Trumpauer Mulholland assembled the vest and buttons to commemorate her activism during the Civil Rights Movement.
