This black cache poussière, or duster, from Giorgio Armani's Black Label is the essence of elegant simplicity. It's designed like a minimalist trench coat without the extra shoulder epaulets, sleeve belts, etc., but with raglan sleeces, a throat latch, and an extra-long walking vent. It closes with five buttons hidden behind a button placket, and another button at the neck that can be hidden with the throat latch. The walking vent has a button in the middle to hold it together if needed. After the coat was photographed, I found a tie belt with two belt loops in the pocket. The belt loops look like they were never attached to the coat, although the loops are not needed in order to wear the belt (we'll take another photo with the belt and add it to the listing soon). The fabric tag is not present, and I won't surmise the content except to say that it is not exclusively a natual fiber (wool, silk, etc.). It drapes beautifully; the texture is somewhere between gabardine and twill. Size IT44, or US size 8-10. Please refer to the measurements below for additional guidance regarding size.
