Every now and then we like featuring a once-in-a-lifetime investment piece that requires serious saving and sacrifice, whether you put money aside for classic items, or whether you need to stop buying coffees and start cycling to work now! Buy yourself this classically tailoired, single-breasted navy Italian-made coat. It will last you forever because it’s from Paul Smith. (Sir Paul Smith will be the guest designer at the 91st edition of Pitti Uomo which takes place in Florence from 10-13 January, 2017.)
Specifically, this beautiful blue coat is from Paul Smith’s innovation collection, ‘A Suit To Travel In”, this coat is made from a premium 100% wool yard that has fast crease-recovery which means that creases fall away before they form.
As colourfully finished as you’d expect from the uniquely British brand, the coat has a green and blue lining inspired by “No.9 Albermarle Street’, a flash of colour on contrasting flap pockets and neon orange trimmed internal jetted pockets.
