Description
A Parisian take on utilitarian outerwear, the Hugo quilted jacket channels A.P.C.’s signature minimalist cool into a versatile cold-weather staple.
Crafted in a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette, the Hugo quilted jacket embodies A.P.C.’s effortlessly understated approach to everyday dressing. The signature diamond quilting creates a subtle, padded texture that traps warmth without adding bulk, while the tonal stitching maintains the clean, unfussy aesthetic that defines the Paris-based label. Designed as a transitional layering piece, it slips comfortably over knitwear, hoodies, or heavier sweaters, making it a practical choice for cooler months.
The Hugo jacket draws on classic workwear and military references — heritage inspirations that founder Jean Touitou frequently revisits — reworked through a modern, minimalist lens. A stand collar offers added protection against the elements, while a concealed front placket keeps the visual line streamlined. Whether paired with raw denim and classic sneakers for an off-duty weekend look or layered over tailored trousers for a smart-casual ensemble, this piece reflects A.P.C.’s commitment to timeless design with a quiet edge.
True to the brand’s ethos of producing accessible luxury with integrity, the Hugo is built to be worn season after season, transcending fleeting trends in favor of enduring style.

Composition & Materials
- Outer shell: 100% Polyamide (lightweight, water-resistant technical fabric)
- Lining: 100% Polyamide
- Filling: 100% Polyester (recycled padding)
The lightweight polyamide shell offers a soft, slightly lustrous hand-feel with light water resistance, making the jacket well-suited to drizzly commutes and transitional weather. The polyester padding provides reliable insulation while keeping the silhouette clean and unstructured. Together, these technical materials deliver warmth, lightness, and ease of wear — hallmarks of the brand’s pragmatic approach to modern outerwear.
Styling
Layer the Hugo over an A.P.C. cable-knit sweater and pair with raw indigo denim and suede desert boots for a refined weekend look. For an elevated city ensemble, style it with a simple white tee, tailored wool trousers, and minimalist leather sneakers — letting the clean lines of the jacket do the talking. Its relaxed cut also works beautifully slung over the shoulders atop a heavier overcoat on the coldest days.
Brand Heritage

The label championed raw denim in Europe long before it became a global phenomenon and remains beloved for its unfussy silhouettes, natural fabrics, and timeless approach to design. With boutiques in Paris, Tokyo, and New York, A.P.C. continues to define a distinctly modern, understated Parisian aesthetic.
