Object
Lilly Bartlet's Suitcoat (mid-weight women's suitcoat)
A mid-weight, tailored women's suitcoat in a conservative cut and muted tone, lined and falling to hip length. Shoulders hold a controlled silhouette; sleeves show slight movement-scuffs from hurried use. Characters tug at lapels or button it with brisk, decisive gestures; the fabric breathes with each stride as Lilly moves through her office, converting private composure into public readiness.

Purpose
To be worn as a formal outer garment that completes the First Lady's attire, providing modest warmth and a quick visual cue of professionalism and readiness.
Significance
The suitcoat acts as a physical cue of boundary and resolve: when Lilly buttons and dons it she closes off argument and signals departure. The garment registers the rupture between her and staff, serving as a portable armor that asserts autonomy and punctuates the emotional break.
