Timeless outerwear
The structured, double-breasted coat Ulster by Loro Piana makes a comeback in the fall/winter 2022-2023 collection. This coat is from Sergio Loro Piana’s wardrobe and he was known for his refined, understated style. He loved this coat for its lightweight, and comfort. The new design interprets a modern attitude in terms of materials and volumes, and is timeless. Comes in three colours - dark claret, desert mist and navy blue -, the Sergio Loro Piana coat is further distinguished by a few details that recall the original Ulster: broad lapels, placket pockets, a below-the-knee length, internal shirt sleeves and a half-belt hidden under the two deep pleats in back, which open from above to allow ease of movement.
