Men's Outerwear
The UK. Percival. Hackney. Names forever linked with brisk winds, sideways rain and checking the forecast only to be lied to. This season, outerwear does what it does best: overcoats, trench coats, bomber jackets, Harringtons, peacoats, fleeces and the infamous Sherlock, all built for layering, staying dry, keeping warm and looking unreasonably good while doing it. Short trenches, long trenches, cropped jackets, 100% wool coats. Men's outerwear for British weather in all its deeply unserious forms.
Men’s Outerwear Clothing
Men’s outerwear, Perci-style. Premium wool, waterproof cloth, sharp collars, good hardware and no corners cut; coats and jackets made for foul weather, good pubs, morning commutes, Saturday pints and everything worth leaving the house for.
Men’s Coats & Jackets for British Weather
Percival is based in England. If you’re not from here, it may be that you’re unfamiliar with the weather in this part of the world, so allow us to describe it for you: always unpredictable, rarely pleasant. A proper men’s coat is as necessary for life here as wetness is for a trout.
Accordingly, we’ve got a few options. The Sherlock Short Trench Coat is waterproof, short enough for everyday wear and remains one of our favourites for dealing with rain without dressing like you’re about to inspect a reservoir. If you prefer a bit more coat, our Long Trench Coats include the Wilson.
For winter, there are men’s overcoats in wool and heavier seasonal fabrics, or a Peacoat if you’d like warmth, a big collar and the general air of a man who knows his way around a harbour. Plenty of choice, basically. The weather may be all over the place. Your coat doesn’t need to be.
Waterproof Trench Coats
We’ve got quite into trench coats. You may have noticed. They’re one of those useful bits of outerwear that sit nicely between a lightweight jacket and a full winter coat.
Outer Layers for Every Season
Not every day calls for a massive coat. Sometimes you just need a jacket. Revolutionary stuff.
The Jackson Harrington Jacket is a good place to start. It’s boxy, made from cotton and finished with a funnel neck, which gives the classic men’s Harrington jacket a bit more going on around the collar. Wear it over a T-shirt while autumn is behaving itself, then bring a knit into proceedings when the temperature inevitably drops.
A bomber jacket does much the same job when you’re between seasons, while an overshirt works nicely as either an outer layer or a midlayer. Yes, technically some people call them shackets. We’ve already made our position on that clear elsewhere and don’t want to get worked up again.
When things get colder, there are wool fleece jackets in Navy and Forest Green. They’ve got the warmth and high collar you want from a fleece jacket, except they’re made from wool, which smartens the whole thing up considerably. Less geography teacher on a Year 9 residential. More man who has remembered to book somewhere for dinner.
That’s basically the point of the whole outerwear collection. Men’s winter jackets when it’s properly cold, waterproof coats when it’s properly wet, lighter jackets when the weather hasn’t decided what it’s doing yet. Britain provides the conditions. We provide the coat.
