This is a quality vintage 1980s Paul & Shark Yachting coat, made in Italy. It is crafted from a blend of 80% wool and 20% polyamide, giving it both warmth and durability, with a 100% viscose lining. The coat is designed in a minimalist trench style, oversized as was the style during the 1980s, and features a single-breasted front with concealed buttons, a belted waist, and dropped shoulders that create a relaxed silhouette.
A buttoned storm flap appears at the upper left chest and back, adding both structure and a nod to traditional nautical design. The deep navy colour and mid-weight wool blend make it ideal for cool weather wear, combining Italian tailoring with Paul & Shark’s signature maritime aesthetic.
