Paul Smith's Partnership with Manchester United Enters A New Era for SS22

To reflect the ever-evolving tailoring landscape, Paul Smith has fitted Manchester United players, coaches and team training staff with a fresh take on the relaxed suit for SS22. Comprising of a classic canvassed jacket in lightweight, breathable construction and a pair of drawstring tailored trousers to allow for freedom of movement, the suit retains Paul Smith’s signature sense of contemporary refinement while focusing on the comfort of the players.

As part of the company’s efforts to reimagine and modernise the partnership and to mirror the aims of Paul Smith’s Foundation, Paul Smith is also delighted to join forces with the Manchester United Foundation – the club’s charitable arm – to offer and fit 25 suits for young men and women pursuing apprenticeships with the club across disciplines as varied as hospitality to operations. These suits will be tailored to each recipient’s specific requirements and measurements in the Paul Smith Manchester shop.

Manchester’s community is at the heart of this new initiative, and as such, Paul Smith is proud to offer a traineeship in the Manchester shop as part of the programme. Alongside this, the company will also support the city’s local youth by organising and hosting wider workshops for young people preparing to embark on their career, with the goal of offering them advice and skills they need to succeed in the workplace.

The sportswear inspired tailoring pieces will be available on PaulSmith.com from the 13th of July.
