What the AI looks for in Men's Wool Jackets & Coats
- Wool content
- Aim for roughly 70% wool or more; coats under about half wool behave like polyester coats Wool content drives warmth, resistance to pilling, and how the coat ages.
- Fabric weight
- Heavy melton is for cold winters, lighter wool or wool blends are for transitional seasons Warmth and wind resistance come mostly from fabric density.
- Length for use
- A peacoat sits around hip length; a topcoat or overcoat should cover the hem of a suit jacket A coat shorter than your blazer looks wrong and leaves the blazer hem exposed.
- Shoulder fit over layers
- Try it on over the thickest layer you will wear under it Wool coats are hard to alter in the shoulders.
Brands that matter
- Schott NYC: US-made peacoats.
- Filson: Mackinaw wool work jackets.
- Pendleton: Wool shirt jackets and heritage wool.
- Woolrich: Heritage wool outerwear.
What to avoid
- Coats labelled 'wool blend' with no percentage stated
- Coats under about half wool that are sold as wool coats
