Lotus Arc Cropped Jacket

A waist-length jacket with a curved high collar and a genuine overlapping diagonal front. Five hand-finished pankou bridge two separately reinforced front facings; releasing them opens the jacket continuously from collar to hem. The overlap is supported internally rather than stitched shut, while two discreet usable side pockets and shaped sleeves keep the silhouette practical for modern formal dressing.

Tailored in a lustrous silk-and-wool cloth woven in Jiangsu, with restrained lotus jacquard at the collar and cuffs. The pankou are formed and anchored by hand in Suzhou. Designed and produced in China in small quantities.

Serica design code: true diagonal overlap, five load-bearing pankou, and tonal lotus jacquard.
