Details

The Court Jacket is an elevated piece of sportswear – a highly water-resistant jacket made in natural materials, with vintage styling.

A re-interpretation of an old basketball coach's jacket, the Court is designed for more casual wear than other PS outerwear, but still uses classic materials – navy Ventile for the shell, soft grey jersey inside.

Its apparent simplicity hides a number of features, including taped seams, a side zip for easy access, and an articulated hood that folds back for a wider field of vision. The 'kangaroo' hand-warmer pocket hides a smaller phone pocket inside, and one seam hides a small key pocket.

Sizing
  • Simon's size: 4 (Medium).
  • The Court Jacket is a bomber or blouson-style shape – big in the chest, gathered tight at the waist – which gives a good silhouette and plenty of freedom of movement in the upper body.
  • The chest measurement can look large as a result, but that's the intended style for someone of Simon's size. As with the other coats, go up roughly two inches for every size.

Simon says

"The result is a piece that feels like elevated sportswear, but without becoming the uber-luxe stealth-wealth that's so common today. It's practical, everyday, and has that easy, playful air of original Ivy clothing.

The jacket is great with jeans and trainers, but also works with more dressed-up pieces like chinos and loafers – with either a T-shirt or a chunky roll-neck underneath, letting it bridge into colder weather."

"Purchased this on release date and absolutely love it! I wear it when jogging, ice skating, and on the weekends around the neighbourhood. It is super versatile and one of my favourite pieces."
