This is likely to be my favorite materials we’ve ever designed. A brown model of the English Tweed cloth first launched a few years in the past, it’s darkish and refined, with nice depths within the mixture of brown and black, plus pure flecks of cream and biscuit that add assorted texture.

The yarn remains to be the pure colors of the sheep – it’s undyed wool, so these are the browns and blacks of the animal, with none bleach or colouring. This should be one of many causes it seems so pure, and the fabric itself has a equally natural really feel of substance and pliability – it’s not scratchy, however has that really feel of a pure fleece. 

The English Tweed was designed to be large and enveloping – one thing to wrap your self up in throughout colder months – and so that you get a variety of that wool to lock around the physique, with the double-breasted entrance buttoning all the way in which as much as the chin. 

The match is beneficiant however could be cinched in opposition to the chilly, and the buttoning is low and slouchy. Whereas there are lots of supplies we might use for one thing like the Donegal overcoat, the English Tweed actually fits this sort greater than some other. 

The brand new brown model is accessible on the PS Store now.

Other than the fabric, the coat is strictly the identical as the primary one, launched in 2023. In comparison with that model, this brown English Tweed has the benefit that it sits alongside a gray, navy or certainly camel Donegal coat, providing an good various color, in contrast to the gray first model. 

However the design is identical: a belt that fastens by doubling again on itself; a waist button on the hip after which two rows all the way in which up; a pleat within the again that enables freedom of motion with out letting in any chilly blasts of air. 

The 2 hip pockets are lined with cashmere, but additionally have a slit that enables entry to bigger ones on the within of the coat. These so-called ‘by means of’ pockets allow you to entry one thing bigger like a e-book or a pair of gloves with out having to unbutton the coat. 

And the slanted pockets on the chest do the identical factor – even with the coat buttoned all the way in which up, you possibly can entry a slanted pocket tucked simply behind the lapel, and so get to your cellphone or pockets.

As is commonly the case with these coats, we’ve targeted in at the moment’s article on what’s completely different in regards to the new model – it’s color and texture. If you happen to’re unfamiliar with the design and wish to see issues like all of the methods it buttons up, take a look at the unique launch article right here. 

That article additionally exhibits the through-pockets, and has extra angles on the silhouette. Immediately is extra in regards to the vibe.

Thankfully, after we photographed this coat it wasn’t too sizzling, and I used to be capable of stroll round Greenwich and the park, wrapping and buttoning myself up. It jogged my memory of the pleasure of strolling in a giant coat: pushing it behind you when the chilly doesn’t require something extra, stuffing the pockets with every thing you want for the day. 

In these photographs I’ve worn the coat with only one outfit – a Rubato lambswool crewneck, a PS undershirt, black 501s, Edward Inexperienced boots and a Trunk scarf: a cold-colour smart-casual look. 

However the English Tweed works equally effectively with tailoring, as proven in that launch piece with a wire go well with, a shirt and a knit tie. I’ve tried sporting the brand new color with gray and dark-navy fits and it’s very good, in addition to a wide range of jackets. Most menswear colors are good – even olive, if it’s darkish. 

The fabric was woven by Marling & Evans in Huddersfield and made by Personal White in Manchester, so together with the English wool it’s a really regionally sourced coat. The horn buttons are Italian, however then these explicit dusty, matte ones are our favorite and a little bit of a signature. Additionally they go notably properly with the darkish brown.
