Description

Bernard is a men's semi-fitted double-breasted coat with a sleek straight-cut profile. Crafted for transitional seasons, its tailored fit is achieved through side panels adorned with princess seams at both front and back, along with a central back seam. The front showcases two lower welt pockets and a left-sided chest welt pocket.

Its long, set-in sleeves feature faux vents adorned with three buttons each. The coat boasts a jacket collar with a matching collar stand, accentuated by extended lapels that gracefully fold down to the waistline. Secured with two buttons and buttonholes, it includes a vent at the centre back seam. Fully lined and falling just below the knee, Bernard exudes timeless elegance.
