Comments: a lightweight technical take on the M65 jacket, with epaulets, four front pockets, cinching drawstring with toggles, several internal pockets, a cotton chambray lining, and various other innovations. Herno makes all of the coats of this type for brands like Brunello Cucinelli. This is a great color that goes with anything and is feather-light. You can stow it and it will shed wrinkles. The texture/weight is hard to describe, it's not like your usual woven M65 with a heavier weight. This is a high-gauge Italian luxury nylon, it's almost the same weight class as a linen shirt, if that makes sense, but with lining and the qualities of a windbreaker, and the feel in the hand of a silk handkerchief. Despite that, it doesn't look over refined and is really easy to wear without lapsing into that Army/Navy repro look.

*Cost includes PP fees and express mail shipment to your door from Asia.
