Pea coats and wool coats in general are awesome. Anyone who says you're a fag for wearing one is an idiot and obviously has no sense of style.

anyone who says youre a fag for wearing a pea coat is probably from the same group of people who think wayfarers are a new trend. not saying you have to like them but making fun of something so classic is something like making fun of someone for wearing a suit or something..

They look good flapping in the wind while casually strolling on your fixed gear through the streets of vancouver.

They are more expensive and less protective than my ski jacket. anyone who buys them to wear in the winter is a retard.

I think they generally look pretty lame on dudes. Girls can usually rock them pretty well though.

I prefer overcoats, but at my height its sometimes difficult to find them in the right length. I have a really nice camel hair and merino one that I spent way way way too much money on but its warm as all fuck and super comfortable. But it only really looks good if i'm wearing a suit though.

They are really really warm and very comfortable, plus they look good. Why wouldn't you wear one?

frat boys rock them all the time.

I think its the equivalent of uggs but for dudes, in a popularity and fashion sense though.

They're actually warm as hell and will most likely outlast your ski jacket by many years. Just saying...

My favorite street jacket is a black wool pea coat. I think they look nice with a scarf, especially on girls.

there comes a time in every mans life where his xxl orage jacket just isn't practical for going to the mall. my peacoat is awesome.

only bad thing about it is my golden retriever gets her hair ALL OVER IT.

In my opinion a guy can't pull it off unless hes a 40+ year old businessman. But that's just me.

Haters have no style.

Pea coats/ wool coats are classic, and have been around forever. Anyone who think they're a new thing is a moron. I could only pull one off with a suit though.

it honestly depends. On some people it reflects their douchey stuck up personality but some people can really pull it off well.

I want an overcoat with gold buttons kinda like what a pirate would wear. Not too douchebaggy and is perfect attire for hunting booty. Click for larger image

i rock one. they are super fresh.

one thing though, you mentioned yours is baggy, which is definitely not something you want.... you want either a boxy fit (real classic, better for old people) or a slim form fit (more trendy and modern)

Technical fabrics > peacoats. plus I live in WA, I'd rather be dry a comfortable than what some call "stylish," Although sometimes peacoats look decent if not worn by some hipster trash. Some people can rock em some people can't, it's simple as that.
