What are some good brands to buy a peacoat for the winter? Or should I get one from a surplus store?

If you got a peacoat from surplus it probably wouldnt be that bad, its one of the only uniform items I have that isnt complete dogshit, and even then you still might want to resew/reinforce the buttons or replace them with something less military-ish (mine have some kind of weird design on them). i dont remember the brand, it might say quarterdeck something. usually wool is pretty sturdy anyways so the brand might not matter if you dont buy chinesium
i’ve wanted a peacoat since i was like 16 and i’ve still never gotten one for some reason
look for a vintage one manufactured by "naval clothing factory"
Gloverall, Schott, or milsurp.
Why do you people love peacoats so much instead of just getting a full length double breasted coat? Those are warmer and more elegant. Winter coats that don’t cover your butt are bad.
Peacoats cover up your butt. Also your pic looks terrible and very feminine.
1920s/1930s style feminine suits for guys are in style. Boxy suits are sitting over in the thrift stores.
I guess we are reliving the 1920 fashion. I hope high collars and the rise of fascism comes back too tbh senpai.
>feminine guy wants fascism
Like pottery
More of a 1950s guy myself actually, but that’s because I have the shoulders for it.
American 1940-50s were all shoulder padding, still today american suits have a ton of padding in the shoulders.

Walking around with shoulder padding is very dorky these days, makes your suit look stiff & cheap.
1920s weren’t feminine stop spreading this lie, they wore a natural silhouette with wide shoulders and chest and a thin waist, all fashion beforehand was like that excluding fabric draping styles.

Literally called a feminine style suit. Unfortunately nu-males are so insecure about their own masculinity and brain washed by marketing that even using the word ‘feminine’ on anything they wear causes them to feel anxiety.
The V shape is a masculine shape, 1920s suit didn’t have much structure to them just like prior suits in the victorian era so the masculinity is totally dependant on the wearer, and the average city business man wasn’t a bodybuilder ofc. Considering that only males wear suits the silhouette can’t be feminine it’s just that we are used to the post 40s suits that are hyper masculine, most men in a 40s suit look like boxes and no where near the models drawn in the magazines.
So I would call it "natural" rather than feminine from an absolutist point of view.
I think there maybe some confusion.
Most languages have gendered words, English is unique in that regard as it doesn’t use gender words outside of names typically. So when I say something is ‘female’ it does not mean it is a woman or for women, it’s just a way to describe an object’s nature and character.
Typically suits that curve to your body are consider more feminine, while suits that are ‘boxy’ and have an artificial silhouette are more masculine.
I’m not english myself and I understand where you are coming from, but that isn’t how I thought of it. I was comparing what women wear to appear more biologically feminine and what men wear to happer more masculine, I don’t understand it in terms of curves but rather of proportions, that’s why I define 20s suits to be neutral because they hug the wearer rather then float on his shape.
If we think about it in terms of curves, those suits are feminine in the sense that women prefer wearing curvy clothes.
>I think there maybe some confusion.
yep
I want to add that a "feminine" suit would actually be when a reddit man tries to wear an unstructured jacket with a relaxed cut and double pleated pants. The jacket totally hides his already small upperbody and the pants accentuate his hips.
What’s going on with that chin son?
I personally prefer duffel coats but surplus would be your best bet
