Inspired by Damask florals and intricately detailed baroque motifs, the Viticetum Coat is an exquisite jacket that shows off sophisticated patterning to mimic the twisting and turning of vines. The motif is worked in a solid color against a constantly changing ground and runs down the entire length of the coat and sleeves. The jacket is designed to be slightly longer in fit for an elegant, yet comfortable feel. With folded hems at the collar, front, bottom and sleeve edge, the Viticetum Coat has a clean and polished look that transitions from the office to a night out with ease. The jacket is finished off with clasps placed along the button band and for added versatility, the pattern also includes instructions for an optional zipper. With bold yet classic motifs, the Viticetum Coat is a perfect mix of whimsy and style.
