In the third season of HBO’s Industry, we see actor Kit Harington morph into born-to-rule gentry tech bro Henry Muck, a man convinced he can save the world with lime-green-hued marketing. But during a soccer game between Paris Saint Germain and Liverpool in Paris this week, a vibe shift sent the former Game of Thrones star into the realm of low-key-aristo spectator—one with a jacket that may well be the most “quiet luxury” outerwear to ever appear at Parc des Princes stadium.
In the stands, the actor skipped the usual parka or puffer and opted for an upscale olive suede jacket from the American retailer Frame. The slick, suede shell made for a quieter, stealthier flex than a leather jacket or swooshy wool overcoat. This is outerwear for guys who drink wine out of tiny glasses on the Marais before chanting mean names at a referee.

A suede jacket is the kind of grail all guys should own. Texture-wise, it’s soft and supple, which is great if you’re looking for touch of polish while keeping things chill. To really take the fit into the upper echelons of aristo steez like Harington, it’s all in the styling. The Industry star paired his jacket with a muted knit and stonewash jeans, but throw on a fringed brown scarf to dial things up color-wise. Also, follow the ol’ preppy trick of yore be sure to pop your collar, because that’s what home-county heroes have been doing since the dawn of time.
If you want to do stadium-ready menswear and fancy dinner reservations with a one-and-done grail, simply follow the Kit Harington formula. It works everywhere. Even on match day.
