Ecole de Pensée
Boxy Fuzzy Purple Plaid Jacket
The École de Pensée Boxy Fuzzy Purple Plaid Jacket is a long-sleeve, single-breasted outerwear jacket made in Portugal from a brushed virgin wool, polyester, and alpaca-blend fabric with a satin lining, cut in a boxy fit with a straight hem that falls near the waist. It features a shirt-style point collar, four visible black front buttons, a slit pocket at the chest, and vertical slit pockets at the hips. The large-scale plaid combines purple, cream, grey, pink, and burgundy bands on a pale beige ground, and the fuzzy brushed finish is designed for layering over shirts and tops in cool-weather wear.

Product Insights
Boxy Fuzzy Purple Plaid Jacket Main fabric is 36% virgin wool, 26% polyester, 22% acrylic, 12% alpaca wool and 4% polyamide. Brushed wool-and-alpaca face creates the fuzzy, hairy halo that softens and deepens the plaid. Dry clean only; spot-clean with a barely damp cloth and air dry, but do not hand-wash or machine-wash. Over-brushing can increase pilling and shedding, and alpaca is fuzzier and sheds more than wool. All three sizes, 38 REG, 40 REG and 42 REG, are in stock at the same 1900 CAD price, and every size carries the same Assorted colour.
Verified claims
- fit
- Boxy, slightly cropped silhouette with dropped shoulders and a straight hem near the waist.
- sizing
- Offered in 38 REG, 40 REG and 42 REG, with 40 REG the only size that has a step on both sides.
- sizing_advice
- Size conversion can vary by brand, so contact the retailer if unsure; all sizes cost the same.
- material
- Main fabric is 36% virgin wool, 26% polyester, 22% acrylic, 12% alpaca wool and 4% polyamide.
- fabric_finish
- Brushed wool-and-alpaca face creates the fuzzy, hairy halo that softens and deepens the plaid.
- alpaca_sensitivity
- Alpaca fibre contains no lanolin, which can suit some wool-sensitive wearers, though the jacket still contains 36% virgin wool.
- lining
- Fully lined with 100% viscose satin through the body and a separate 100% viscose sleeve lining.
- care
- Dry clean only; spot-clean with a barely damp cloth and air dry, but do not hand-wash or machine-wash.
- maintenance
- Wool is naturally odour- and wrinkle-resistant, so airing or hanging in a steamy bathroom between wears can refresh the jacket.
- pockets
- Working chest slit and vertical side pockets, plus interior pockets, with welts that open into the satin lining.
- buttons
- Full-length front closure with round dark glossy buttons; the spec lists buffalo horn.
- collar
- Shirt-style point collar that lies relaxed and stands slightly away from the neck at centre front.
- colour_pattern
- Large-scale plaid in purple, cream, grey and pink, with muted purple and charcoal bands on a pale pink-beige ground and narrow burgundy accents.
- nap_direction
- Brushed cloth has a direction; the same panel can read lighter or darker depending on how the pile lies.
- durability
- Over-brushing can increase pilling and shedding, and alpaca is fuzzier and sheds more than wool.
- fabric_behaviour
- Wool's crimped structure gives elasticity and compression resistance, helping the boxy shape hold; alpaca has lower compression resistance and can feel softer.
- warmth
- Napped surface traps still air for insulation, and wool can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture vapour to help regulate temperature.
- styling
- 1970s-inspired tactile statement piece that layers over a t-shirt and works as a casual, design-forward outer layer.
- construction
- Made in Portugal; École de Pensée is a Montreal collective founded in 2014 with a focus on fits, materials and construction.
- value
- At 1900 CAD, the jacket's value rests on its wool-alpaca blend, Portuguese construction, full viscose lining, buffalo horn buttons and working pockets.
- variants
- All three sizes, 38 REG, 40 REG and 42 REG, are in stock at the same 1900 CAD price, and every size carries the same Assorted colour.
