The classic peacoat, originally crafted with navy wool and worn only by European and American navy sailors, has become a wardrobe staple for the modern man. The peacoat has transcended beyond its nautical beginnings into a versatile style of coat that is available in multiple colours and fabrics, and can be worn as part of a sophisticated tailored ensemble, or paired with a simple tee and jeans for an elevated casual look.

How do I style a peacoat?
The beauty of the peacoat is it’s incredibly versatile. A peacoat can virtually be worn with anything; from a t-shirt and jeans to a three-piece suit, a peacoat will effortlessly elevate your look while keeping you warm.
