Peacoats?

I quite fancy a peacoat for a reasonably smart casual and warm winter coat. Looking around they go from ratty see-thru ex-Navy ones for £25 to silly money hand made by undiscovered tribes in the Amazon basin etc. etc.

Can anyone recommend good quality brands to look at? I’d prefer high wool content and regular fit (I’ve got relaxed geo). UK made if possible

Will your budget cover this beauty?

I’d also be interested in this  – I’ve got an old GAP one, which isn’t of the best construction and looks a bit cheap.  I’ve been looking at the leather ‘Kreigsmarine’ type, but they vary in price from less than £100 to silly money.

Reasonably priced and a good range of sizes. But only 50% wool.

I bought a new without tags Folk brand ‘archive’ pea coat recently on eBay for £60. Think retail was about £300.

 I’ve been looking at the leather ‘Kreigsmarine’ type,

Ooof, they have a whiff of 90s boyband or Gestapo officer about them depending on the rest of your outfit!

Also £100 for a leather jacket will certainly land you something of very dubious quality.

OP, given the Peacoat is a pretty standard classic silhouette (ie most of them look very similar) the Community Clothing one linked above looks a good price for a UK made 100% wool jacket.

I got one from the Barbour factory outlet shop up on Tyneside, if you’re ever in the area – it’s great, but very heavy – makes my shoulders hurt if i wear it for too long!

i have this coat.  nice fir than a pea coat, which IMHO has a horrible collar.

Worth looking at M&S, I picked up a nice one from the a couple of years ago

I have quite a nice ‘Italian’ wool one from M&s… It wasn’t cheap but it must be 15 years old now so they probably don’t do the same one any more!

I’m not sure it’s strictly a peacoat.. It’s kind of semi smart semi military style if that makes sense.. Comes down to mid thigh.

suggest looking on Vinted too. I just picked up a pretty nice deal on a Fjallraven coat

Pete Doherty probably has a few that he doesn’t fit any more.
