For a good couple of years I have been searching for a winter pea-coat for men. ¾ length preferably.
I’ve tried Woolworths, Edgar’s and all the other stores. but they only seem to stock for women or completely out of stock or they don’t have my size.
Ok I did find one hand made by a local designer (cape town). I forget the name of the store. It was something like R10 000. No thanks, im not paying R10 k for a coat.
Now I have seen them sold online but I don’t want to talk the risk of purchasing clothing online.
If anyone has any idea where I can get this style pea-coat in cape town or JHB please let me know.

Blade! In pursuit of the perfect coat…us girls struggle too. There’s lots available if you’re happy with polyester or acrylic. It’s about perfect cut, fit and fabric – and it is not easy to find (at a reasonable price). My partner and I are debating whether to include mens’ coats in our new line. You’ve just convinced me that we should!

thanks amanda.
i really like the fabric and general cut.
would suit my body type very well
whats the name of your clothing line ?
Hey Blade, (not to steal your customer Amanda ;p)
I was looking for this exact same thing since the end of ’06, but nobody had anything close.
I finally got what I deem to be the most versatile piece of sortorial genius ever concieved by man – It was part of the TRIGGER range at YDE. Yup, it’s local, I was surprised, but I haven’t seen it on the shelf since. Worth having a look around YDE though – they have some crazy styles in there and you CAN’T get through the place without finding something that fits your personality.
But Seriously Amanda, you would do the world a favour…
My hypothetical coat will be fabulous…until then, I understand that the customers will prefer something a little more tangible
As for the name, including men means that lulu-bee-clara-belle-rose-lila-etc… is going to need a rework. Will keep you boys posted.
I found several at markhams and YDE
but they were all too big or too small or just didnt fit right.
I eventually settled for a variation…looks good…but the mission isnt over.

Pringle at the V&A have some great coats on sale now 50% off! and extremely good value even for the occasional wear given the weight.
Try the Country Road range at Woolworths. I got a great pea coat from there. Well-made, tailored Ozzie brand.
