Men's Peacoats
The pea coat - or peacoat's - story begins at sea. Originally issued to naval officers to withstand the cold and weather of open water, the double-breasted, heavy wool silhouette became a civilian staple after the Second World War — and has remained one ever since. Gloverall's men's peacoat collection draws directly from that lineage, with the Churchill Peacoat at its centre: a coat named for a man of similar character — strong, formal, and quietly authoritative.
The Churchill Peacoat
The Churchill Peacoat is crafted from 100% Melton wool — a dense, tightly woven cloth that resists wind and light rain while carrying a weight and drape that synthetic alternatives cannot match. The cut is sharp and formal: notched lapels, a double-breasted front, and embossed anchor buttons bearing the Gloverall name — a direct nod to the coat's naval origins. Waist-height pockets add a touch of formal structure without disrupting the silhouette. Available in Navy, Black, Charcoal, Grey, and Loden, in sizes XS to XXL.
How to Wear a Men's Peacoat
The peacoat's military origins mean it carries natural formality — it works over tailoring in a way that a duffle coat simply cannot. Layer the Churchill over a suit jacket for a winter commute, or wear it over a Submariner Jumper and heavy trousers for a weekend look that references the coat's seafaring roots. For something more relaxed at a similar price point, the men's duffle coat collection offers a less structured alternative. For full-length outerwear with a more contemporary edge, the men's overcoat range — including the Harris Tweed Hynes — is worth exploring alongside.
