ARTS&SCIENCE Button

The outside covers the buttons for a neat and smooth look, while raised embroidery decoration is concealed on the inner placket. A hidden placket is a closure method that adds a double layer of fabric so buttons are not visible from the exterior when fastened. ARTS&SCIENCE placed appliqué embroidery—sewing an overlapping piece of fabric over the base fabric—on the hidden button placket of this long-sleeve shirt. Fastening the buttons maintains a neat exterior, but opening the collar or unbuttoning reveals the three-dimensional texture of the stitching on the inside of the placket.

In addition to the standard function of holding items, the side pockets of the ARTS&SCIENCE balmacaan coat also serve as passages for your hands to reach inside. While looking like ordinary pocket openings on the outside, they feature a slot pocket structure with slits inside so that you can put your hands into your inner pockets or the pockets of the pants you are wearing even while the coat remains buttoned.
