This Autumn/Winter 2017, Paul Smith is reimagining the new men and women’s suits and its durability in a film called “A Suit To Travel In”. Reaffirming the values that Paul set down in 1970, ‘classic with a twist’ remains the guiding principle of the company and the latest film showed how Paul Smith’s travel tailoring credentials hold its own through an unconventional commute.
For the men’s film, the brand taps professional freerunner and winner of the 2009 Barclaycard World Freerun Championship, Timothy Shieff who makes his way to work through the streets of London, made possible by the amazing flexibility and crease recovery of A Suit To Travel In.
Yoga instructor and fitness writer Shona Vertue effortlessly one-handed cartwheel her way through the green parks and streets of the capital in the women’s film.
Designed from 100% wool cloth, the high-twist tailoring fabric of “A Suit To Travel In” springs back before creases are allowed to form. The suit is also cut for movement with extra room across the back of the jacket for added comfort and flexibility. The game-changing wool blend also helps you to keep cool when it’s hot and warm when it gets chilly.
Two iterations of “A Suit To Travel In” has been made for the new season, each crafted with different climates in mind. The original 100% wool suit remains at the core of the collection while a new 84% wool, 16% mohair fabric blend has been added as a lighter
option for warm and humid climates.
Mirroring Paul Smith’s autumn/winter focus on British fabrics, “A Suit To Travel In” is also available in a classic houndstooth cloth that recalls traditional British tailoring. Plus, a series of muted trans-seasonal colours including pale blue, teal, lilac, damson and orange sit alongside the traditional colour options of navy, black and grey.
A Suit To Travel In for Autumn/Winter 2017 will be available in Paul Smith shops and online at paulsmith.com.
