Men's pea coats classy, warm

November 29, 2007

“It’s a classic,” marketing senior Eric Aho said in reference to his peacoat.

There are a few staple wardrobe pieces that will never, ever get old. Here lies the peacoat.

However, like a fuzzy caterpillar blossoming into a gorgeous butterfly, as time goes on, the peacoat just gets better.

No longer your grandma’s church coat, the latest fad is a man in a dazzling peacoat.

A guy in a peacoat conveys instant class to everyone around him.

Have you ever seen a great world leader in a North Face fleece? Or a Carhartt jacket? Doubtful.

So why aren’t we seeing more vogue-ish young men trotting around campus?

It’s likely attributed to the price.

This J.Crew peacoat shown on marketing senior Eric Aho runs for $275.

But don’t fret — show your college ID and get 10 percent off your entire purchase in the store.

Wool peacoats are shockingly warm, especially when paired with an elegant scarf.

If you have a plethora of holiday parties to tend to this winter, don’t top off your get-up with a grungy winter jacket.

A classic peacoat will make your outfit much more festive.

After you snag yourself a smashing peacoat, impress the ladies even more with this fact.

Originally worn by sailors, the word “peacoat” is derived from the Dutch word “pijjakker.” “Pij” meant “coat of coarse cloth,” combined with “jekker,” meaning “jacket.”

Not that she’ll be paying any attention — your coat will impress her enough.
