Belstaff 71030169-80016 Caban Naval Peacoat NAVY BLUE Waterproof Regular Fit Men's

Product Information

Just do it when it makes sense — on a cold, blustery day when you need added protection and warmth – so it doesn’t come off as an out-of-place affectation. When it comes to peacoats, the Schott Classic Melton Wool Navy Pea Coat perfectly walks the line between nostalgia, authenticity, and functionality—all at an incredible value. The pea coat was introduced as military wear by the British Royal Navy in the 18 th century, and was first mentioned in a uniform manual in 1731. The U.S. made it part of its navy’s uniform in the late 19 th century. The coat carried both naval forces through two world wars, and as with many garments that began their lives as part of military uniforms, became readily adopted in civilian life as well. Why Wear a Pea Coat? The Belstaff Naval Peacoat is no exception. This thing is heavy duty and built to handle whatever you throw at it. We love the burliness of this peacoat and that it also boasts a detachable throat latch. A quality pea coat can last for a long time, so consider investing in one that looks as good as it’s made:

Regardless of your style, this classic men’s overcoat is firmly anchored as a wardrobe staple. The peacoat is timeless, cool, and built to last. Regardless of whether the Navy ultimately follows through with its decision, the pea coat’s popularity as a civilian style staple will likely continue undiminished. Its combination of good looks and sturdy functionality has solidified its enduring, iconic place in the male wardrobe. With your arms hanging down straight, and your wrists bent with your palms facing the floor, the sleeves of the coat should graze the tops of your hands; you don’t want them to extend farther and swallow your hands, nor be too short, as you always want your outermost-facing garment to cover everything you’re wearing underneath it (i.e., you don’t want the sleeves of your sweater poking out past the sleeve of your coat). The bottom of the coat should hit just below the hips. It should ideally not entirely cover your butt or extend past your front fly; any longer in length and it begins to lose its distinctive pea coat style and look more like a generic overcoat. And yes, Gloverall touts similar historical clout as the brands mentioned above. They helped bring the Duffel coat to the global market and designed and made the coats worn by the 1980 British Olympic team.

J. CREW DOCK PEACOAT

In all seriousness, the peacoat is one of only a few wardrobe items that you can dish out good money on with the confidence of knowing that you’ll still be able to call on it decades later. For a more lightweight and modern cut, Schott offers a Slim Fit Pea Coat that we like just as much. The coat should lie close to the body but not be too tight in your chest and midsection; you should be able to move your arms without feeling overly constricted. That’s what the British outerwear company, Gloverall brings to the table with their Churchill Peacoat. Crafted from 100% wool, the Churchill features sharp tailoring, embossed buttons, and a detachable throat latch, all while striking a really smart balance between design and affordability.

J. Crew made ivy-league prep school style cool for nearly a decade. And while the “J. Crew look” has faded in popularity since hitting critical mass several years ago, the brand still puts out some high-quality gear at reasonable prices. A peacoat is a good starting point, but here are 12 more tips to help you elevate your personal style.

Here are some things to look for regarding how the coat should fit; keep in mind that if it fits better in some areas than others, you can often have a tailor make adjustments:
