Are you sure it isn't some sort of velvet hangglider attatched to the front of the jacket?

It makes a statement, but I would like to see lapels that actually go beyond the shoulders maybe even touching the ground.

There is something very 'sexual' about this coat... I think its intended?

That reminds me of the late John Inman (as Mr. Humprhies) wearing a wide-lapeled navy pinstripe three piece suit on Are You Being Served?
