What Does Your Jacket Say About You?

"With winter weather well and truly here, it's high time you take stock of - or, depending on how your recent purchases have panned out, reassess - your current coat situation. A proper piece of outerwear is essential for winter, not only for its warming and weather-resistant properties, but, as the outmost world-facing garment you'll be wearing, for what it says about your general sense of personal style."

"While we're not here to prescribe you a coat (that would be far too intimate), we can direct you towards American designer Billy Reid's array of new seasonal outwear. With a collection of coats, jackets and outerwear that spans materials, cuts and, yes, aesthetics, there's truly something for anyone, regardless of your taste and the degree to which your job is fake."

"According to the brand, the fact that Daniel Craig actually donned the Bond Peacoat in Skyfall was a total coincidence. This does not take away from the fact, however, that a good peacoat goes a long way in telegraphing international man of mystery. Equal parts reliable and sophisticated, the military style seamlessly bridges the gap between workwear outwear and refined overcoats, making it a no-brainer pick for anyone who needs outerwear that can do it all."

The chore coat offers lightweight durability, weather resistance and multiple pockets, with wool versions for colder temperatures. The peacoat channels a military heritage—reliable, sophisticated and versatile—bridging workwear and refined overcoats for heritage dressers and business-casual commuters.
