Designed by Creative Director Ralph Auriemma for the Gentleman Who Cares About Quality and Style
NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Creative Director Ralph Auriemma was inspired by the image of an Edwardian Gentleman for the new Phineas Cole Fall 2022 Collection this season. "The Edwardian Gentleman collection is for the modern man that wants to look sharp and still feel comfortable in his clothing. He is always well dressed regardless of where he is or what he's doing," says Auriemma.
The showstopper in this group is a custom woven silk dinner jacket that features an Art Deco inspired print of city skyscrapers with a silk rope frog closure. Retail is $3295. It's simply paired with black wool flannel trousers. There's also a black cashmere sports jacket with a black velvet top collar and hacking pockets that pairs with shirting in black, and lavender stripes. The Harrier velvet slip-on loafer is our new classic style at Paul Stuart that perfectly finishes this look.
For winter nights there's a long hooded black down coat that is absolutely not meant for the ski slopes. For warmer days a soft nylon quilted vest with a silver finish. A doeskin wool 3-piece suit in lightweight construction and an 8-button double-breasted jacket with gunmetal buttons in the same material retails for $1995. The trousers in this collection feature saddleback waistbands on the pants for comfort. Auriemma says, "The Edwardian Gentleman is classic in his tastes but modern in his sensibility and outlook."
Trevor Shimpfky, CEO and President of Paul Stuart says, " These new styles from Auriemma for the Phineas Cole collection are out of this world. They are stylish menswear that will truly be collector's items in a well-dressed man's wardrobe."
Auriemma was inspired by vintage photos of well-dressed sportsmen for the Phineas Cole sportswear collection. These new styles are ideal for any activity that takes one outdoors but are just as suitable for time spent inside. The collection is filled with lots of classic chunky knit textures and various materials including leather, cashmere, paisley patterns, and checks. Auriemma says, "When I started designing this Phineas Cole collection I went back to the original Scottish mills the company has historically worked with for unique Fair Isle and Shetland sweaters and yardage for trousers and jackets." For instance, there are Donegal tweed cashmere sweaters with tipped necks and cuffs to wear with a classic tweed sports jacket. There's a luxurious brown suede shirt with patch pockets and matching cargo pants to wear with silk shirts that feature contemporary bird and butterfly prints that retail for $1195. Paul Stuart English-made Chelsea suede boots complement these styles with rugged Vibram soles. Auriemma says, "All of these things bring me joy to design."
The outdoor theme continues with a Safari-style jacket in wool with a half belt for $1795 that pairs with a hunter-green sweater. It's accessorized with an oversized silk scarf in an equestrian print. Bright yellow and purple shawl collared double-breasted cardigans can also be worn as a blazer. The finishing touch includes an oversized blanket scarf in cashmere for $1295. New Made to Measure styles in this collection include the Cooper a pre-washed cashmere corduroy suit with a button-out zippered gilet in green, blue, and burgundy.
