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 weighty casual jacket could be a variation of the naval peacoat — double breasted coat on a hardy wool. Like everything that Arnys has touched, details are deliberated over and refined from the original peacoat. The lapel-collar configuration becomes the semi-peak version for elegance. The cloth becomes a wool/cashmere flannel, rather than the original heavy melton, for fluidity. The pockets and sleeveheads echo classical Arnys elements.
