The JackThreads Peacoat Is An Uncontested Outerwear Classic Made Better
More than any other piece of men’s outerwear, the peacoat is an icon. It’s the white undershirt of outerwear — a throw-on-and-go staple that’s simply part of the equat...
The JackThreads Peacoat Is An Uncontested Outerwear Classic Made Better

Named not for little green pods, but rather the cloth from which the coat was originally made (either Dutch twilled blue cloth called pij or a coarse blue cloth with a nap on one side used by the Navy called pilot cloth, abbreviated to P-cloth, depending on whom you ask), peacoats are characterized by a shorter length, double-breasted front, broad lapel, and slash pockets. As the coat rose to prominence, particularly among naval seamen, it was spun in tightly woven wool for added warmth and wind-protection.
The jacket's oversized Ulster collar, with a distinct, notched lapel, allows for increased versatility, protecting the wearer's neck and face when fully buttoned while not sacrificing comfort or range of motion.

Rather than heavy, boiled wool, the JackThreads Peacoat is built from a wool-polyester blend, which makes it lightweight, softer, and allows the fabric to drape and move with the wearer’s body.
Its insulated, quilted interior is rare among peacoats, making JT’s iteration stand out and building technical details into an otherwise simple layer.

"Hybrids are in our brand identity. We’re never just one thing, and the pieces we design are never just one thing, because our guy is, needs, and wants a little bit of everything. So this is kind of the next take on the peacoat."
— Kat Stupp, JackThreads Design Director

Concerning fit, the JackThreads peacoat runs slim, building a more tailored look, yet still leaving room for layers underneath (the JT DoWN Vest, pictured above, is our go-to for extra warmth).
— Megan Ryall, JackThreads Production and Sourcing Manager
"Our vendor who’s making this also does a lot of our suiting, so [the peacoat] has a truly tailored construction, and we’ve leaned on their expertise when it comes to fit."

What’s more, JackThreads' take on the peacoat sheds overtly nautical details — namely by eliminating the fouled anchor button design (with an anchor wrapped in rope). This not only simplifies the coat, but also makes it more wearable to a broader spectrum of tastes. A chambray lining, too, enhances breathability and puts a contemporary spin on an age-old classic.

"We work bottom-up and top-down. So at the start of each season, we begin with the hard pieces — the pieces of outerwear and the bottoms — that a guy needs. For winter, it’s a topcoat, a peacoat, and a fashion coat, which is the fishtail parka."

JackThreads
Across the board, pared-down, classic menswear pieces are undergoing a resurgence, reinvention, and modernization, and the JT Peacoat is no exception. While trend-driven pieces like the fishtail parka may be enticing, they need to be tempered with a heritage-inspired counterpart. A versatile wardrobe demands a mix of both genres and, as proven by over 300 years of history, a peacoat will remain in favor no matter how trends rise and fall.
With a softer, more wearable fabric and atypical details, the JackThreads Peacoat is an indisputable go-to. Grab yours and other modernized classics, exclusively from JackThreads.
