The men's peacoat has been flying under the menswear radar over recent years. After earning its spurs as the fisherman's final protective layer against the harsh elements, it hit fashion prominence for men during the 70s. Who can forget the ever-debonair Robert Redford in the spy thriller 'Three Days of The Condor'. Though, another spy showed how enduring this style is. Daniel Craig wore his Billy Reid version to aplomb in 'Skyfall' years later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The timeless silhouette of the peacoat is what makes it so appealing. Largely untouched since its inception, the waist-length finish and large lapels make it distinctive but contemporary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of its cropped nature, the coat exudes a smarter aesthetic. While the shorter length also makes it ideal for wearing when driving or travelling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Big, solid lapels are a welcome deflection turned up against biting winds, especially if we pick a peacoat crafted from thick wool as nature intended. This hearty material kept sailors warm at sea, so modern land living shouldn't be an issue. In addition, wool helps keep the peacoat's structure, nipping in the waist and keeping that uniform silhouette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The working class man adopted the peacoat, like much military-inspired clothing. Its robust nature and shorter style made it ideal when working outside. So, it was used by dock workers and construction workers who needed dependable, hard-wearing outerwear. As such, the coat lends itself well to this aesthetic. Think jeans and chunky knits<\/a> topped off with thick-soled boots<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
