It's the kind of jacket you imagine being worn by literature professors, university presidents, or the eldest son in a generational family with access to old yearbooks and newly interpreted traditions.

The texture of velvet adds warmth and depth – it is a fabric that patinas with character and bears witness to both history and temperament as well as materiality and signal value.

Pattern upon pattern with awareness

Worn over a classic striped cotton shirt and paired with a paisley tie in warm, deep colors, the blazer is a sophisticated play on pattern – just as it was done at Princeton and Cambridge in the 60s – where individuality was communicated through subtle style choices rather than loud statements.

The choice of paisley as a tie adds a bohemian-inspired layer to the outfit. It is not a coincidence – but a sign of excess. The man in this outfit knows his history and his craft.

Grey wool trousers balance the look and anchor the entire look in a timeless academic tradition, making the outfit both usable for everyday wear and sophisticated enough for formal settings.

Grade A Copenhagen's philosophy in practice

This look illustrates another facet of Grade A Copenhagen: Style is not just something you put on – it's something you wear.

We curate for people who appreciate craftsmanship, materials and historical references, but who also dare to create their own version of the classic. We call it academic luxury – an aesthetic where clothes should not only dress you, but support your story.
