{{short description, Cloak type Bernos ( am, በርኖስ), also transliterated as Barnos and Burnos, 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. The term seems to be an adaptation of the Maghrebi Burnous. Unlike its Arab counterparts, it is typically black, and does not have a hood; rather it has a large point on one side of the shoulders, usually the left. The point was tailored into existence in order to keep a rifle on their shoulders, so that highlander men would not have to hold them outside where rainwater entering through a muzzle might damage (an older) firearm. Donald N. Levine notes that the wealthier men of Menz Menz or Manz ( am, መንዝ, romanized: ''Mänz'') is a former subdivision of Ethiopia, located inside the boundaries of the modern Semien Shewa Zone of the Amhara Region.
