The Manchester Peacoat

Your cart is empty

An iconic naval staple & our best-selling woollen coat. Created by the Dutch in the 1800s but immortalized by the British and U.S Navy throughout the 20th century. The common denominator for all for adopting the peacoat was a need for a durable piece of outerwear that could withstand the harsh rain, wind and cold temperatures typically experienced out at sea.

Our modern interpretation ticks all the boxes thanks to a robust yet showerproof 30 oz Melton wool, woven in England. Read the full review here.

For Men Who Like Their Coats Rare

We don’t make many of our jackets. Because everything is made by hand at our factory in
Manchester, England, there are only so many that end up in the world. When you see someone
wearing it, you know it’s a rare garment.

Customer Care

Our objective is clear and simple. We expect our clothes to perform and we want our customers to be happy with the quality.

Every single component of a Private White V.C. garment has been subject to stringent performance testing from internationally accredited independent laboratories (we use BBTG as it is less than 5 miles from the factory) to minimise the chances of any latent defects, material faults or underperformance. The following are just a few of the routine tests that we undertake: Tensile strength seam slippage tear strength water repellency colour fastness.

On occasions there may be instances whereby a garment doesn’t quite perform as expected and there may be issues with delicate yarns, natural horn buttons or hand-made button holes. As and when such anomalies arise we will stand by our products. More information here.

We pride ourselves on offering every customer a concierge-style service.

Our team can answer any questions about this garment's fit, texture, materials, versatility, shipping options and more.
