This sartorial standby has its genesis in the 1700s, where it was developed to protect sailors from the elements on deck. Dark navy 30 oz wool was the standard, with eight buttons and wide lapels. Today, the wool can lighter in weight, and clothing designers have a ball nipping and tucking and playing with color and texture, but the essence of the peacoat survives. A Coat For All Time.
