As winter begins to take hold across the country, the cold winds and vicious rain have us all reaching for our jackets and scarfs again.  No-one more so than those out at sea, with biting winds and freezing sea spray, the naval officers of the world have reached for their warm Pea Coats since the 1700's. With its tough but functional character, the pea coat is back on this seasons style hit list as the pre-war style renaissances continues to sweep the catwalks of London, New York and Milan.

With its timeless style, high quality production and pure functionality the Pea Coat is a must have this season.  Coupled with a chunky knit and scarf the Pal Zileri Lab pea coat wears well this season, allowing you to capture a bit of the 1940's spirit whilst staying warm in Central Park this Christmas.

The pea coat was traditionally made from 850g Melton wool but now the desire for lighter more technical fabrics has made this a coat for the future.  The colour to buy is navy as this follows the tradition through the years.
