Pankou Bow Tie Button Jacket

Description

AO YES Fall/Winter 2026
The Pankou Bow Tie Button Jacket reworks a traditional Chinese knot closure into three bow-tie buttons down the front, set on a stand collar and boxy, cropped silhouette.

It’s cut in a heathered charcoal wool-look fabric, with cuffs that turn back to show a cream trim on the underside — push the sleeves up and the contrast shows.

Two patch pockets sit low at the hip, flat against the body rather than adding bulk, deep enough for keys or a phone.

Part of the AO YES Fall/Winter 2026 collection, it’s one of several pieces in the line built around the pankou knot as a design detail rather than a purely functional closure — the label is based in Shanghai and works this kind of traditional craft detail into modern tailoring.

The stand collar sits close to the neck instead of folding down, so a scarf layers over it without adding bulk underneath.

Because the cut is boxy rather than fitted, the Pankou Bow Tie Button Jacket sits loose over a fine-knit top, or buttoned all the way up for a cleaner, more structured line.

If you already have the Pankou Bow Tie Button Shirt from the same collection, the two share the same knot-button detailing and layer well together — worn open over the shirt, both sets of buttons stay visible.

The cropped length hits around the hip, which makes it a natural match for high-waisted trousers or a skirt rather than something you’d tuck a top into underneath it.

There’s no lapel or notch — the stand collar runs straight up to the neck, so whatever you’re wearing under it shows right up to the collarbone rather than being covered by a fold-over lapel.
