Paul Smith Barbour + R.NEWBOLD jacket

As you may have noticed, there is no defined winter coat trend for 2011/12. Prada has convinced itself that a nylon puffer is the way forward but it doesn’t take a front row VIP pass to figure out that's a lost cause. Thankfully, in times of indecision one can rely on Paul Smith to light the way. Its limited edition Barbour+R.NEWBOLD waxed jacket features a subtle patchwork polka dot printed on 6oz waxed cotton, corduroy-lined storm guard collar and pocket embroidery. Conundrum solved. Until next year...

Limited Edition Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: 'Certainly not Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab', as Alan Partridge might say...

Not content with merely tailoring the suits for Tomas Alfredson's film adaptation, throwing a bash for Gary Oldman in his store and designing four silk-screen posters to mark its release, Paul Smith just announced a limited edition Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy hardback.

Each of the 250 copies has a cover designed by Paul Smith and is signed by the author using his suitably duplicitous nom de plume - John le Carré.

To be fair, 'David Cornwell' doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

Paul Smith Henry Moore wallet

Owning a wallet that - for the most part - is worth more than its contents seems a little perverse. That said, it's difficult not to be seduced by this collaboration between Paul Smith and The Henry Moore Foundation. Lined with silky purple moire, it features a print of the seminal British artist's 1958 painting Thirteen Standing Figures, alongh with Smith's signature contrasting stitching.
