"Paul Smith"

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

From Paul Smith, which has expressed a lighthearted sense of playfulness through color and details while drawing on British traditional tailoring, we present a standout piece layered with a classic, richly textured feel.

Combining a substantial gauge-knit sweater and a well-cut tailored collar, this exceptional piece brings refinement and character together in a softly composed silhouette.

The body is made with 75% wool and 25% angora. The three-dimensional texture created by carefully knitting thick yarn is enriched by the soft, fluffy loft and depth characteristic of a wool-angora blend. The understated medium gray tone, containing charcoal, further elevates the richness of the knit fabric with elegance.

On the front, four buttons are placed to evoke a double-breasted look, while large lapels made from a densely woven wool material distinct from the main body define the outline. This allows the knit coat to retain its relaxed impression while achieving the crisp, polished integrity of a tailored coat. Oversized patch pockets positioned lower on the design and metallic detailing at the shoulders add a modest, Paul Smith–style touch of playfulness.

The longer length and relaxed fit of the body create a straight-leaning silhouette that takes advantage of the substantial knit. Natural ease forms around the shoulders and 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 in Osaka City Chuo Ward, Tanimachi of Joyx Corporation stated on the quality label, the presence of old JIS-based care instructions used before the change in laundry care labeling in 2016 indicates these pieces were likely made around 2010 to 2013. As a result, you can enjoy a beautiful coexistence of the classic coat construction and the warm, craft-like feel that Paul Smith excelled at.

Furthermore, another major appeal lies in the hand-knit construction clearly noted on the tag: each piece develops slight variations in stitch pattern and finishing. It is a special item that lets you enjoy the warmth of human hands—something you won’t find in uniform mass-produced products—and a rich texture that harmonizes beautifully with your outfit.

This is especially recommended for those who want to incorporate warmth into a refined coat style, and for those who wish to express personality subtly through the quality of the material. Pair it with wide slacks and leather shoes for an elegant, urban look, or combine it with denim and a turtleneck to effortlessly bring it into everyday wear.

A knit coat that brings together the softness unique to knitwear, the structural quality of a tailored silhouette, and individuality created through handwork—an opportunity to fully enjoy Paul Smith’s sense of aesthetics. Please take this chance.
