            Long frock coat made from beige-pink wool facecloth (a woven wool with a felted nap), features cutaway fronts and is adorned with ten large faceted and cut steel metal buttons along the right front opening. Opposite, on the left side, are ten wide, corded non-functional buttonholes. The coat has a 5 cm collar and deep turnback cuffs on the narrow, fitted sleeves. The torso is closely fitted, with the coat fronts curving away to form a wide opening at hip level, revealing two side-hip pockets with deep flaps.

            The back of the coat has a long centre vent extending to hip level. At the top of doubled inverted pleats on either side of the vent opening, aligned with the rear side seams, is a faceted and cut steel button, enhancing the fullness of the coat's skirt. Near the bottom hem on either side of the centre vent are two additional matching faceted steel buttons. The coat fronts are lined in pale pink silk.

            The inside lining includes three pockets on the left and one on the right. The lining design is beige on the top half, transitioning through a line of cream, then beige, and finishing with cream at the hem. The suit is accompanied by a PS Paul Smith garment bag and hanger.

            Three-button tailored jacket featuring a Union Jack print in red, white, and blue cotton. It fastens with three black plastic buttons and has small lapels. The front includes two jetted pockets without flaps and a breast welt pocket on the left side. The front panels are aligned to create a central Union Jack pattern, while the back is constructed from two panels where the print does not match up, indicating budget-conscious manufacturing (original retail price: £29.99).

            The jacket has uneven black topstitching, further suggesting a lower manufacturing quality. The two-piece sleeves lack vents but include a single black button on each cuff. It is lined in black viscose and features one internal pocket on the right side.

            Grey, two-button, single-breasted tailored jacket. It was part of the uniform for technical officials at the 2012 Paralympic Games. The jacket’s lapels and collar are trimmed with black binding, accented by a light blue edge, excluding the notch. The same piping detail forms the jetted edging on the two hip pocket flaps. A welted breast pocket on the left chest displays the London 2012 Paralympics logo in light blue, featuring the "agitos" symbol in place of the Olympic Rings.

            The lining is dark blue with a light blue print depicting iconic London landmarks such as Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the London Eye. These buildings are also embroidered into the felt under the collar. Comes with the original tag (in the Object File).
