The peacoat for that first cold morning out the door

A double breasted peacoat with a notched lapel, a V neck and a knee length cut. The outer shell is 90% polyester and 10% wool, so it is mostly a synthetic coat with a little wool in it. The listing describes a slim fit in a solid color. Two side pockets are included.

The outer shell is 90% polyester and 10% wool, and the lining is 100% polyester. That makes the wool a small part of the fabric, so think of it as a polyester coat with a touch of wool rather than a heavy wool one. The listing calls it soft and warm for all day wear, but it gives no weight, thickness or temperature rating, so how warm it feels in your climate is not something the specification can tell you.

The cut is classic: notched lapel, V neck, double breasted front, long sleeves, two side pockets, and a length that reaches the knee. The listing says slim fit but gives no measurements in its text, so check the size chart on the product page before ordering, especially if you plan to wear a chunky sweater underneath. The color is listed only as solid, and which shade suits you is a matter of taste.

Styling ideas from the listing are a turtleneck sweater, a long dress, a shirt or jeans, which covers a lot of what fits on one wardrobe rail. Occasions named include everyday fall and winter wear, shopping and holidays. Care is hand wash only, which is worth knowing if drying space is tight. The coat is imported, and the listing does not name a country.
