Chronotis' Tatty Jacket

A well-worn, shapeless jacket hangs loose on Professor Chronotis’ broad frame, its elbows frayed and the once-dark fabric bleached uneven at the shoulders from years of use. The pockets bulge slightly, their contents hidden by the garment's sagging seams, while the collar sags despite being buttoned halfway up his chest. Parsons notes the jacket’s lived-in state as he enters, marking it as one more relic of the don’s distracted eccentricity.
