The sailor coat was the first piece that Yves Saint Laurent presented under his own name. The coat, whose silhouette has undergone some changes throughout its history but remains completely recognizable, was shortened to give greater freedom of movement to the legs of the sailors who wore it for the first time.
Etro, Bottega Veneta, Ferragamo, Gucci, Max Mara, Tom Ford, Emporio Armani and Prada have included among their proposals new versions of this sailor coat, more or less long, with striking or more discreet gold buttons.
