The Men’s pea coat

Any functional jacket that keeps you warm and comfortable essentially covers the requirements of a suitable winter covering, but what about the men who want to be "ridiculously good-looking" at the same time?

"There's just something about cold weather and a well-made coat that makes a man look sexy. I can't really tell you why, I can only tell you the right coat gives a man bulk - which makes him look powerful on a subconscious level." - Isabella Snow

Your jacket will be the first thing people see when you step out of a room and into the cold this fall. A jacket can be considered the wrapping paper of your outfit. Not having the proper coat can ruin what can otherwise be a choice outfit, and can make your otherwise well put together wardrobe choices underneath look like a mess. To be as presentable and fashionable as possible, you want to keep that jacket stylish. Most of all, you want it to convey your unique personality, along with your access to resources.

The pea coat was originally worn by sailors of the European navies, which makes it no wonder the style would cut an impressive figure. Pea coats always manage to make any man looked refined. It's clean-cut but still carries that tough masculine weight with it.

The mens pea coat, having long been a men's fashion staple since updated by Burberry in 1901, the pea coat still occupies its own impenetrable niche in men`s fashion.  This season shows no difference in the affinity for trench coats, but as fabrics and styles update, so must this classic piece.  Shorter lengths and lighter fabrics gave the trench a contemporary feel. Of course there is nothing wrong with the classic - which can be paired with everything from suits to jeans and a t-shirt.

This season is an easy opportunity to pick up a piece that for once doesn't require any layering, but rather sits on top of it all. The mens pea coat will be the finishing touch on your daywear and will translate beautifully into night time wearing.
