"Paul Smith" 10's Hand-knit double-breasted coat

"Paul Smith"

10's Hand-knit double-breasted wool angora coat

From Paul Smith, who has long expressed a lighthearted sense of playfulness through color and detail while drawing on traditional British tailoring, we present a standout piece that layers classic richness of materials.

By combining a substantial, heavy-gauge knit with a well-formed tailored collar, this piece balances refined elegance with distinctive character.

The body is made with 75% wool and 25% angora. The three-dimensional texture created by carefully knitting thick yarns is complemented by the soft, fuzzy nap and depth that only an angora blend can offer. The calm medium-gray tone, including charcoal, subtly enhances the richness of the knit, lending it an understated sophistication.

On the front, four buttons arranged to evoke a double-breasted look define the silhouette, while large lapels in a dense wool fabric distinct from the main body deliver tailored precision. This maintains the relaxed impression typical of a knit coat, yet achieves the neatness expected of a tailored coat. A large patch pocket set at a lower position and metal details on the shoulders add a modest playful touch that is unmistakably Paul Smith.

The longer length and gently eased fit create a straight-leaning silhouette that takes advantage of the substantial knit fabric. Natural ease appears from the shoulders through the sleeves, making it well balanced and easy to wear not only with shirts and lightweight knits, but also for autumn/winter layering.

In addition to the address details of Joyex Corporation in Tanimachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, as listed on the quality tag, the presence of older JIS-style care symbols used prior to the 2016 changes to care labeling indicates that this item can be dated to around 2010 to 2013. Accordingly, it beautifully reflects the classic coat structure and warm craftsmanship that Paul Smith was known for at the time.

Furthermore, the hand-knit construction clearly stated on the tag is also a major attraction: each piece develops slight variations in stitch patterns and finishing. It is a special presence that lets you enjoy the warmth of human hands—something you cannot find in uniformly mass-produced items—and a rich texture that settles naturally into the way you dress.

Especially recommended for those who want to incorporate warmth into a tailored coat style, or for those who wish to subtly express individuality through the quality and feel of the materials. Pair it with wide slacks and leather shoes for a refined, urban look, or combine it with denim and a turtleneck to bring it naturally into everyday wear.

A knit coat that brings together the softness unique to knitwear, the structural polish of tailoring, and the individuality created by handcraft—letting you fully appreciate Paul Smith's sense of beauty. Please take this opportunity.
