Style & Design

Both of these coats are similarly styled. Both BR and J Crew offer their peacoat in navy, but the fact that they offered the less common grey is very nice to see, and was the one we tried from both. Liking the lighter grey of the J Crew peacoat over the BR one is a matter of personal preference, but the fact that the J Crew peacoat looks rich and textured while the BR coat looks flat and cheap is not.

Both coats have side, slit pockets, which is easier and more comfortable to keep your hands in, and is nice to see on both.

The BR peacoat is unreasonably cropped/short (see here) and does not even cover a suit jacket.

WINNER: J Crew
