Sailor's coat
The sailor coat, reference of the sea clothing
Originally quite thin and looking like a cape, the pea coat was reinvented in the 18th century, especially in France, by adopting the coat shape it has today. Large slanted pockets, a large button closure, a wide collar are characteristics of the marine coat. Usually navy blue or black, it is possible to close this jacket in both directions depending on the wind direction. Ideal for winter, the marine coat is a warm and waterproof garment thanks to its construction generally in wool. Once intended for military use, it is now a real fashion accessory for men and women. We also find the appellation woolen sheet, coat caban or duffle coat. It is an excellent alternative to other warm clothes like the parka or the down jacket which offers a style rather focused on sport. Several brands based in France have made it a flagship product in their line of clothing and coats as armor lux, hublot mode marine or the famous designer Jean-paul gaultier.
A must-have in marine fashion: the men's coat
Originally made for men in the French Navy, the pea coat, or woolen sheet, is today intended for men as well as women. Generally more fitted for the ladies, the men's pea coat is a real fashion accessory to be worn all winter and in low season. The coat differs from the duffle coat by its cut closer to the body. The wool coat is an authentic sailor coat that goes perfectly with jeans and a shirt, for an elegant style in everyday life. For example, the Captain Hublot buttoned pea coat is a wool coat with many details such as a side pocket, many buttons to close on both sides or a high collar. Over a sweater or a shirt depending on the season, you will be comfortable in the wide and covering sleeves of this coat. Available in sizes S to 3XL, you're bound to find the right size for a low price of 229€.
The two-tone pea coat Fort Cigogne Armor Lux is a short and fitted 100% wool coat that will protect you from the wind in mid-season to summer on the seaside. Its double buttoning reinforces the efficiency of this wool coat against the wind.
Finally, the Cap Sizun pea coat Armor Lux is a classic men's coat from armor lux. This wool sheet is as effective against the wind as the cold. Elegant, chic and classy, it is the perfect representation of the authentic woolen sailor coat and the know-how of the brand. Looser than other coats, it will be ideal over a wool sweater. It is available in sizes S to XXXL to suit all body types, for a price of 309€.
The Duffle coat, a larger coat
As seen above, the difference between a man's pea coat and a man's duffle coat is the looser cut of the duffle coat, historically intended for artillerymen, sailors or even grenadiers for whom freedom of movement was a primary consideration. It is generally longer than the pea coat, with a 3/4 coat aspect. The Duffle-Coat Quimper Armor Lux is a perfect example of the genre. Very classy and long, its high collar, its numerous pockets, its hood and its technical material will protect you from the cold all winter long. Its loose fit and wool construction make it an authentic men's duffle coat. Polyester reinforcements in the lining of the sleeves make the product more resistant.
Shorter, the Duffle Coat Admiral Hublot and its straight cut offer an elegant style. A blend of wool and polyester, it is one of the essential winter coats. The lowest price in this category, this men's sailor coat features a zip closure and branding for a classy yet casual look.
