Description

Eiza is a semi-fitted shearling jacket with an extended shoulder and a straight silhouette. It showcases yokes, princess seams, and welt pockets on the front. The off-centre zipper adds character, while the back features a yoke and princess seams. The two-piece set-in sleeves come with turn-back cuffs, and the jacket is finished with a turn-down collar and a snap-closed waistband. Eiza’s decorative top stitching enhances its style, and it falls gracefully to below-hip length.

Recommended Fabric
