Buying a Winter Pea Coat

A pea coat is an excellent choice for outerwear during the cold winter months. Although this coat was originally designed for navy sailors, today’s versions are much more attractive. You can find these coats in a variety of colors as well as in the traditional navy hue. Designers are now offering pea coats in bright colors such as red and yellow. One of these coats will be an eye-catching addition to your winter wardrobe.

Features for these coats such as the sleeves and buttons, have also evolved over time. Now some designers opt for toggles rather than buttons, while others use large, shiny buttons to accent their coats.

The basic sleeve has also changed. You can find accessorized sleeves and even kimono sleeves. These changes have brought the pea coat into modern fashion while preserving its original style. One should also consider the material that these coats are made in when looking for one of these coats. In the beginning pea coats only came in wool. To make sure you have the warmest coat you need a coat that is 100% wool, not a cotton/wool blend. If you don’t like the heaviness of a wool coat, try looking for cashmere, it’s just as warm but considerably lighter.

These coats have become quite stylish throughout the years. The pea coat covers your upper body allowing you to show off your warm winter pants. Pea coats have clean lines and do not look like a bulky winter coat. They are a great addition to your winter wear.

Both men and women look good in pea coats. If it is time to get a new winter coat, consider the pea coat as a great addition to your wardrobe.
