What to Consider

As with any other outerwear, know when and where you’ll be wearing it before buying. Then decide which other style features you prefer before narrowing down your choice.
Fabric: Pure wool is a staple of peacoats, but with it usually comes heftier price tags and more-involved care instructions. If you tend to overheat quickly, opt for a wool blend, which will be more breathable without compromising on warmth.
Features: A peacoat is easily an everyday choice during cooler months, so think about how often you’ll wear it and what features will be most useful. All the options we tested and included on this list have functional pockets for a cell, wallet, and keys if you prefer not to carry a bag. Other features like a latch color and quilted lining will come in handy if you’re in an unpredictable climate that may be warmer during the day and more chilly at night.
Fit: A more tailored, slim-fitting peacoat may not be the best choice if you wear hoodies or thick sweaters in the winter. Consider sizing up or look to the looser-fitting options on this list to give yourself some room to layer.
