Peacoat Previous Version

Because we have made a slightly updated Peacoat, we are offering these few previous version Peacoats separately at $825.  We won't be making more, so don't place a backorder. Our Peacoat leans more toward our Luxury side, but the same Hardcore Performance Fabric is the foundation.  I was pleased and a little surprised that some of our Peacoats are at work on cattle ranches. The history of Peacoats is interesting, and had a strong influence on our Peacoat. Not surprisingly, the design is old enough that there is controversy over where it came from, and when. Some sources will claim origins back to the early 1700s. Some claim the word "pea" is a corruption of a Dutch word referring to a coarse wool. We'll definitely not be making anything coarse! A couple of well-accepted points are that the original Peacoat was wool, and oriented toward sailors. The double-breasted front supposedly enabled sailors to slide down or shinny up a mast without buttons being snagged. Maybe more reasonable, the true double-breast enabled a sailor to button either left-over-right or right-over-left, perhaps depending upon which side the wind was coming from ... or just to hide some soiled fabric. The Peacoats are made from our FullWeight Fabric, and are (of course!) not lined. The handwarmer pockets are also not lined. Nothing but WeatherWool Fabric. The Peacoats feature Corozo Buttons in either Brown (with Lynx Peacoats) or Black (with Black and Drab Peacoats). The Corozo Buttons are hand sewn with "Anchoring Stay Buttons" on the inside on both the upper left and upper right chest. The Anchors help to square the coat front.  Button them with the corresponding inside button hole, with the button facing in.  Although this type of button is known as Anchor Stay, it's just a coincidence that both button and coat have nautical names. The Peacoat has a high collar that stays up when you want it to. The model in the photos is 5'11"/189 cm, 175 lbs/82 kg, wearing a size medium. *double click/tap to see video in full frame.
