To target a value-oriented segment, this product is differentiated primarily through its material composition and construction. A polyester-viscose blend is used instead of 100% wool to significantly lower the cost while still offering a good drape. The fit is a more relaxed "regular fit" to appeal to a wider range of body types, moving away from the slim, tailored cut of the original. Manufacturing is moved to a more cost-effective region, and care instructions are simplified to allow for machine washing, adding a layer of convenience for the consumer.

This product is differentiated for the mid-tier market by offering a more modern and versatile take on the original. A four-button closure is used for a slightly more contemporary look compared to the classic six-button style. The color is changed to charcoal grey to provide a stylish alternative to basic black. The inclusion of double back vents enhances comfort and ease of movement, appealing to a consumer who values both style and practicality.
