A bernos (Amharic: በርኖስ) is a wool cloak-like garment and hood woven in one piece, traditionally worn by men of the Amhara ethnic group of Ethiopia, most commonly in the relatively cold Shewa. Unlike its Maghrebi counterpart the Burnous, it is typically black, and does not have a hood; rather it has a large point on one side of the shoulder, usually to the left.
