Men's Peacoats
Do you own a pea coat? You probably should. The armour of winter, pulled from naval decks and reimagined for the streets of Hackney. Strong collar for wind, heavy wool for warmth, pockets for hands or secrets, and enough heritage to make you feel like a captain even if you are just queueing for coffee. Our pea coats sell out each winter — considered classics never stick around for long.
How Should a Pea Coat Fit?
Not too boxy, not too skinny, think strong shoulders, snug but not strangling. A peacoat should skim the body, close cleanly without pulling, and leave you room for a jumper underneath. The single-breasted front is meant to feel structured, but you should still be able to move like a man, not a mannequin. Still confused? We have made it extra simple with our comprehensive guide to men’s peacoats.
How to Style a Peacoat Jacket
The beauty of the Peacoat jacket is that it plays well with everyone. Buttoned up over a roll neck jumper for something sharp, or open over a hoodie for pub nights when the temperature drops faster than your motivation to go out. It looks right with trousers, jeans, even tailored joggers if you are feeling bold.
The single-breasted front provides structure without stiffness, while the short length makes it perfect for layering. Office commute, winter wedding, or going to the races, it always fits the brief. Add a chunky knit and scarf for cold mornings, or keep it clean with a shirt and chinos for easy everyday wear. This is one coat that earns its keep all season long.
What Makes a Peacoat the Ultimate British Classic
The Men’s Peacoat is the original winter wingman. Born at sea, refined on land, now a firm Percival favourite. Crafted from premium melton wool so heavy it could probably stand up on its own, this coat means business. Warm, weighty and properly made. Each piece comes fully lined in tonal jacquard, with neat welt pockets inside and out. The cut hits right at the hip, snug but never restrictive, so you can actually move your arms without looking like a penguin. Shoulder seams that sit where they should, sleeves that finish just at the hand. Old school structure with modern precision.
For those who like a bit of backstory, the Peacoat started life with naval officers in the nineteenth century, designed to survive North Sea storms. We break down that full history and how the coat evolved in our Guide to Men’s Peacoats. Fast forward to today and it is still doing the same job, just with better coffee and fewer cannons. From the ship deck to Soho, our men’s wool peacoat jackets are a winter wardrobe staple.
Which Peacoat Colour Works Best for Everyday Wear
Three shades, endless possibilities. The Navy Peacoat is the safe bet, the classic that goes with everything and everyone. Charcoal gives an edge, a little sharper and darker for smarter days. Then there is Olive, the understated hero that brings warmth and depth to winter outfits. Each colour has its own mood but all carry that same tailored confidence.
Owning a men's pea coat in a standout shade is a rewarding flex. Swap the usual black for something with character and watch your wardrobe wake up. Whether you call it a Peacoat, a pea coat, or simply your best winter jacket, the outcome is the same—you look like you know what you are doing.
