Peacoat
Description
Black Peacoats on hand now. Any other color will be late 2025 or 2026.
We also still have in stock a few Peacoats from the previous run.
Our Peacoat leans more toward our Luxury side, but the same Hardcore Performance Fabric is the foundation. I was pleased and a little surprised that some of our Peacoats are at work on cattle ranches. As always, 100% USA, 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool.
The history of Peacoats is interesting, and had a strong influence on our Peacoat. Not surprisingly, the design is old enough that there is controversy over where it came from, and when. Some sources will claim origins back to the early 1700s. Some claim the word "pea" is a corruption of a Dutch word referring to a coarse wool. We'll definitely not be making anything coarse! A couple of well-accepted points are that the original Peacoat was wool, and oriented toward sailors. The double-breasted front supposedly enabled sailors to slide down or shinny up a mast without buttons being snagged. Maybe more reasonable, the true double-breast doubled chest protection from headwinds. It also enabled a sailor to button either left-over-right or right-over-left, perhaps depending upon which side the wind was coming from ... or just to hide some soiled fabric.
The Peacoats are made from our FullWeight Fabric, and are (of course!) not lined. The handwarmer pockets are also not lined. Nothing but WeatherWool Fabric.
These Peacoats feature Corozo Buttons in Black. (We'll have different color buttons with different Fabrics next time out.) The Corozo Buttons are hand sewn with "Anchoring Stay Buttons" on the inside. The Anchors help to secure and square the coat front. Although this type of button is known as Anchor Stay, it's just a coincidence that both button and coat have nautical names.
The Peacoat has a high collar that stays up when you want it to, but also has a throat latch that can really secure the collar in the raised position. The throat latch can also be buttoned out of the way to the back of the collar or stored in pocket.
The photos from the tailors studio, show the first Peacoat made in this new style, in the Drab Green color, which is a better color than Black for development work, and for website photos. The Black Peacoats are the same as the drab green in the pictures. These Peacoats were manufactured by Ferrara of Long Island City, New York.

In the video, Cody is wearing the previous version (in Drab Green) of the Peacoat, but the video is still valid except for the two extra buttons on front. Cody is 5'11"/189 cm, 175 lbs/79 kg, wearing a size Medium.

Our Fabric
Our 100% American, 100% Wool Fabrics, made from 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool, are the foundation of our company. Making our own Fabric is time-consuming, difficult and expensive. But for us, there is no other way.
Full Weight WeatherWool
Our FullWeight Fabric is the foundation of WeatherWool. It was the first Fabric we developed and remains a mainstay. We have found that the three-dimensional Jacquard weave handles weather much better than the plain weave used in typical outerwear. The FullWeight is our warmest Fabric.

FAQ
Where is it made?
All of our products are 100% made in the USA using 100% American-made wool and materials. We pay American citizens to make all of our garments. See more.
Is WeatherWool in retail stores?
No, it is only available directly through this Website.
What are your garments designed for?
We set out to make the best All-Purpose outerwear possible and we take that "ALL" part seriously. While some items may be better then others for specific needs we like to think we have the perfect garment for anything you do outside regardless if it is in the serving in military, hunting, camping, city, country, work or worship.
Why is it so expensive?
We never cut a single corner at any step. We make our own fabric, from the best wool in the USA. There are over 45 steps in making our fabric alone. We use the highest quality materials made in the USA. We have owner operated customer service on call to serve you and offer free shipping in USA and Canada as well as hassle free returns.
Is WeatherWool Merino Wool?
Not exactly. Merino is great wool and has been very well marketed over the years but pure merino alone is not actually suitable for us.
We select our wool based on a number of characteristics including micron, strength, length, and comfort factor. With the help of our advisor Bob Padula we have determined the perfect recipe for our goals. Thanks to modern equipment we can test all the wool before we buy it and that wool is primarily coming from Rambouillet and Targhee breeds.
How do you clean WeatherWool
Short answer, you almost never need to. It's self cleaning. We've had garments we've worn for 7 years that have never been cleaned other then some rain.
However, things happen. If a lukewarm bath and dry flat doesn't do the trick, you can try wool-cleaner. Our full cleaning page is here.
Can bugs bite through your fabric?
We have not heard of any that can.
What is your customer service policy?
Our customers will be taken care of.
Full Customer Service policy can be found here.

About us
Founders / Owners
WeatherWool was founded in 2009 by Ralph and Debby DiMeo. Together with their children and a few friends they maintain 100% ownership of the company. Their full story can be read here.
Direct Connection To The Source
We make our own Fabric, starting with raw wool carefully and specifically selected from a small group of ranches in the USA that meet our certification standards. This isn't no stock photo. We're actually out there during shearing sampling wool and sharing stoies and good times with the ranchers and their families.
The Best We Can Figure Out
While most companies decide a price point, and reverse engineer a garment to meet that retail price, WeatherWool does the opposite. We make the best garment we can figure out how to make at every decision we face.Although our garments seem pricey to some our profit margins are below average and you're getting more value for your money and assurance that you're getting some of the best wool in the world.
