While the Prince of Wales sport coat is well represented in winter, it is less often seen in summer tailoring. We particularly like patterned sport coats because they can make an otherwise simple combination more interesting. We were therefore thrilled to find this Prince of Wales fabric in Irish linen. It has subtle shades of dark blue and warm brown against a muted beige background.

Our tailoring is made in Italy with a full canvas construction and meticulous hand-sewing in key areas such as the collar, armholes, and buttonholes. This sport coat features patch pockets to enhance its casual nature, making it suitable for everyday wear and somewhat formal settings. The linen has a crisp body and luxurious feel, and over time it will develop its character as it starts to rumple and shape to your body.

Whether paired with tailored linen trousers or dark-coloured jeans, this Prince of Wales linen sport coat is certain to add a bit of panache to your outfit. We particularly like it when combined with trousers in lighter colours such as ecru and stone or darker shades of brown and grey. Wear it with a crisp white shirt for a formal look or a navy skipper polo for casual occasions.
