[~90's] Old Paul Smith Black Velor S/S Shirt

Estimated to be around the 90s, Paul Smith (This is a "Black Velour Short Sleeve Shirt" made by Paul Smith.

Paul Smith (Paul Smith is a luxury brand founded in Nottingham, England by founder Paul Smith in 1970, and combines humor and playfulness with British classics.

Since its founding, we have been introducing innovative styles that overturn the common sense of men's clothing, based on the brand's philosophy of "making "twisting" based on classics."
With the keyword "reinterpretation of tradition," the design, which skillfully combines modernity and personality with British tailoring culture, has captivated fashionistas around the world.

Paul Smith had a history of becoming a cyclist, but after an accident he switched to the world of clothing.
He opened his first shop at just 24 years old, and in 1976 he unveiled his first men's collection in Paris.
Its unique sense of colour and unique perspective have given us a fresh air into the existing mode world.

The brand's biggest appeal is its deep respect for orthodox tailoring and its commitment to details that give off a sense of "the extraordinary aspect of everyday life."
By spreading playfulness into the lining, buttons and inner pockets of the jacket, it creates "joy of wearing" and "surprise", sublimating your everyday style into something more enriched.

In particular, since the 1990s, the brand has developed a variety of worldviews, including collaborations with women's lines, interior design, art, and even official uniforms for the London Olympics.
He cemented his position as "Paul Smith = British national designer."

Such a luxury brandPaul Smith introduces a short sleeve shirt made from a rare material called black velour.

A glossy jet black velour that will catch your eye at first glance.

Its texture creates deep shades depending on the angle and lighting, and despite its simple structure, it gives off an overwhelming presence.

The biggest feature is that this material makes it a "short-sleeved shirt."

Velour is originally a material that is often used in autumn and winter.
Its moist, luster and heat retention are attractive, but in this work, this heavy material is deliberately incorporated into a short sleeve to create an extremely rare design that simultaneously brings "lightness and weight."

The collar is designed with a sharp angle.
The range of expressions is attractive, with the buttons fastened up to the top to create a neat look, while when worn open, it changes to a relaxed look.

A small patch pocket is attached to the left chest.
Because it is made of the same material as the body, it reduces its appearance while adding a three-dimensional look to the design.

A brand tag with the brand name "Paul Smith" written on the inside of the neck is attached.
Another nice feature is that it includes "MADE IN ENGLAND," which certifies that it is made in the UK.

The slightly slimmer silhouette design emphasizes the drape unique to the material, creating soft, flowing drapes with each movement.
Although it is stoic at first glance, it still gives off a somewhat glossy mood, making it a truly "adult play".

The fabric is not listed so it is not possible to make a conclusion, but it is assumed that it is made from "velour material (synthetic fiber blend)" due to its feel, gloss, and elasticity.
It has a moist and sticky texture, making it less likely to feel stress when wearing it.

The color is jet black.

This one piece is the "deep black" world created by the material called velour.
It inhales light and sometimes reflects, giving it a jet black look that looks like it's covered in the shadows itself.

It is distinct from dry matte black, and the fine luster appears depending on the angle and movement of the viewer, making it a truly "moving black."
The unique texture of velour, which combines tranquility and sexiness, leaves room for both fashion and classical style.

This is a solitary piece that is perfect for those who want to pursue the "beauty of black."

Although the size indication cannot be confirmed, I think it falls under the "S" size for Japanese sizes.

Even when looking at the actual measurements, the size is small, so if you have a small figure, you can wear it without any problems.

Although there is some signs of wear due to age, this item is in mint condition, with no noticeable stains or scratches.
Of course, there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think it's still possible to wear it.

Among the many luxury brands, "Paul Smith" stands out with its unique worldview and beauty.

The luster of the velour gives the color black a depth, and the slightly slim silhouette that snugs against your body.
It is a minimalist construction that removes decorations and highlights the beauty of the materials themselves.

This specification is extremely rare even in the vintage market.
This is a masterpiece with a "twist" characteristic of Paul Smith, which I would like to see only those with high sensitivity to reach.
