The Peacoat
Right from October to April, without trying.
You want one coat that works on a Tuesday and at a dinner, and you found it decades ago: navy wool, double-breasted, a collar that turns up in the wind. The peacoat is the coat that never needs explaining, and you wear it with the ease of someone who stopped shopping for coats.
It is the most Toronto coat there is, useful and handsome and entirely unbothered by trends.
What you'd actually buy
- The navy peacoat, heavy wool, anchors optional
- A grey cashmere scarf worn the same way every day
- Leather gloves, brown, slightly worn in
- Boots you can polish in two minutes
