Navy Peacoat (1 Item – 3 Looks)

The Peacoat was first issued by the United States Navy during the early 20th Century. The coat’s design was borrowed from Britain’s Royal Navy Reefer Jacket. The Royal Navy first designed the jacket specifically for crewmen who had to climb rigging and furl and unfurl, or ‘reef’, the sails of the ships. The jacket was made short enough to allow for easy movement through the rigging. It also had a double-breasted front, which prevented the buttons from getting caught on ropes. It was made of a very heavy wool, in dark Navy blue. More recently, the Peacoat’s style has been adapted in virtually every color becoming a fashionable yet versatile piece for colder weather.

No matter if you have a Peacoat already in your closet or are considering one as the winter season draws, you can check out some great getups from Famous Outfits that take 1 item, but give you 3 looks.

Cool and Classy

Looking for the perfect companion for a classier occasion? A navy Peacoat will never disappoint. Suit up with a Uniqlo long sleeve striped shirt, slim fit Kenneth Cole pants, Perry Ellis Square Hale belt, and a pair of Kenilworth Lace-Up shoes. Round out the look with a Sand Wash Linen tie, Ray Ban Wayfarers, and of course, a navy Uniqlo Wool Blended Peacoat.

Urban Explorer

Don’t let the cold weather hold you back from exploring the city life. Outfit yourself in a pair of Skinny Ultimate Khakis from Old Navy, a SS Alfie Shirt, and Fields Burnished Leather Boots.

Cold weather is no excuse for not looking your very best. Layering up with a Peacoat will give you a great look while providing that extra warmth for the coldest of days.
