Paul Harnden Shoemakers is one of the most iconic yet equally mysterious brands in the world of avant-garde and artisanal fashion. Little is known about the British designer and his work, as he is notoriously shy. Despite this, for many, Paul Harnden is considered the most important designer in avant-garde fashion, often seen as the point where it all began. A whole generation of designers, such as John Alexander Skelton, Archivio J.M. Ribot, and Ziggy Chen, draw inspiration from his work and methods.
For many, his level of craftsmanship is beyond compare. Harnden employs numerous century-old techniques, contributing to the outstanding quality and antique look of his products. Each piece is fully handmade in England or Scotland and designed in his studio in Brighton.
This blazer is a true classic in the Paul Harnden lineup. The fully closeable blazer with five or six buttons has been available for years in a multitude of variations. This specific one is finished in cream cotton with a matching lining. Therefore, it is not too warm and can be worn all year round. It features six light brown horn buttons at the front and three working buttons at each sleeve. Adding to that, it has two big pockets up front and one smaller chest pocket. For added practicality, it also features two interior pockets. The fit of this kind of jacket is always rather short and slim. The quality is incredible, the buttonholes for example are all hand-sewn.
