Spies Like Us

You’ve always been intrigued by secret operations and espionage. Too bad your nickname is Mouth of the South.

Feel free to spread the word about the fall collection of Operations, which works maximum clandestine appeal with military-inspired pieces that feature much more than meets the eye.

Go undercover in the black wool Russian trench coat with a hidden placket that unbuttons to reveal a silky, bold crimson lining. (Keen observers will find that the coat’s collar, pocket flaps, and belt are faced with scarlet leather.)

A futuristic Himalayan shirt in cocoa brown keeps folks guessing with spontaneous jolts of brilliant orange thread inside the collar and on buttons here and there. And the Scottish jacket with epaulets sports royal blue-lined sleeves, cuffs, and pockets, injecting the classic gray tweed with a hint of unpredictability.

Consider it the perfect disguise.


Available at Terra, 1706 Connecticut Avenue NW, between R and S Streets (202-232-8581 or shopterradc.com). To see styles, go to operationswear.com.
