It’s always exciting to be a part of the latest fashion trends, but trends come and go and coats are pricey!

An essential winter wear piece is a good, solid coat. Once you find a keeper it can be enjoyed for a life time. That is, if you manage to keep a slim and trim figure!

Do yourself a favor and make the investment in a high quality classic cut coat that never goes out of style!

The Peacoat

Once upon a time this double breasted wool coat was only worn by sailors, but its popularity caught on and today it is considered a classic! A solid color pea coat is an excellent addition to any wardrobe; warm, classic and versatile. Stick with the classic navy or choose a neutral color to get the most out of your jacket!

The Trench Coat

This timeless jacket has been worn by the British army since the 1850s and is still worn today! The trench coat is a great investment,  not only are you getting a high quality rain coat, but it’s insulated as well…meaning you stay warm and dry.

The Duffle or Toggle Coat

The name derives from Duffel a town in the province of Antwerp in Belgium where the fabric originated. The popularity of this coat came  post WW1  after the British Army ( those brits sure know their coats!) ordered a surplus of jackets and sold the extras cheap to the public.

The common denominator for all of the classic coats is military. And whats good enough for the military is good enough for me!

If you’re in a need of a good jacket this winter, make a wise investment. Buy a classic coat!

Stay warm,

Brit
