What do Oscar Wilde, Mick Jagger and Paul Smith have in common? You guessed it (did you?) – velvet. Not just beloved by the Belle Époque, the lustrous fabric is having somewhat of a renaissance that’s arching its way from AW into SS18. If you’re a man who wants a touch of the plush stuff, invest in this Soho-fit, Italian-made jacket. With peak lapels, classic jet pockets and double back vents, this style’s reputation precedes it.
