Founded in 1933, Arnys of Paris was an independent luxury men’s clothier known for its extraordinarily fine products embodying the classic Rive Gauche style, until the maison was acquired by Berluti and ended its business in 2012. Since then Arnys products have become ever more precious and collectible to those who love menswear.

This work jacket is inspired by Arnys’ famous Forestière jacket and retains some key features of the latter, for example the band collar and the three generous patch pockets. In addition, the jacket comes with a cotton scarf/band made of the same linen cloth as the lining that can be attached to the inside of the jacket collar with two buttons. This self-scarfing element is also a characteristic of Arnys’ original design.
