rom the catwalks of Milan to the
mud-filled meadows that have
hosted this year’s festivals, the
pea jacket is re-establishing itself
as one of this season’s essential fashion
items. A key component of military surplus
staples that now form the backbone to most
modern men’s wardrobes, the reefer (as it’s
otherwise known), unlike combats, parkas
or field jackets, has dual appeal – because
it’s tailored, it also works in a more formal
context. We picked 12 of the best available.

How to wear it
The coat looks best when worn with skinny
jeans and a white shirt. Alternatively, it also
works well dressed down with scuffed
Converse All Star sneakers and a white
V-neck T-shirt. Its timeless ‘dressed-up’
appeal has seen the pea coat replacing
tailored jackets on the catwalks, worn with
classic flat-front trousers, shirt and tie as an
update on the traditional two-piece suit.
