Given the origins of this design, it should be possible to find original jackets. And they are very reasonably priced. The upside is that you will get the genuine specification and look, the possible downside may be that they have been stored for a while, with all that entails.
Another distinctive feature of the reefer coat was that the buttons were engraved with anchors. And authentic modern versions of the reefer jacket still use engraved and polished anchor buttons. As with the duffle coat, after the end of the Second World War, surplus reefer coats were sold off to the general public. And at various points in recent history, the reefer has been adopted by stars as diverse as French singer, Serge Gainsbourg, British actor, Michael Caine he wore a suede reefer jacket in The Italian Job and perhaps most memorably, by Daniel Craig as James Bond in Skyfall.
Well, aside from the obvious sex appeal factor, the reefer coat manages to always look classic, while also looking modern, and has the added benefit of being really, really warm. Which is a lot for one coat to pull off. Because it has been around since the 19th Century, the reefer coat has been popping in and out of vogue for over a hundred years. Etymologically beholden to a Dutch twill fabric called pij the "j" is jilent , the pea coat has been standard issue for sailors on both sides of the Atlantic since the 18th century.
Those longer coats - called "bridge coats" - gradually grew out of favor, and the shorter, lower ranking "reefer" coats became a more popular cut. There is an ongoing debate among menswear buffs about the exact origins of the name. The buttons, for example, once comprised of six-to-eight brass fastenings, are now more commonly made from rigid plastic or horn.
Originally designed for officers stationed on the bridge of a ship, the key difference here is length. The large collar and double-breasted cut remain intact, but the coat reaches thigh- or even knee-length, crossing over slightly with an overcoat. This is also one of the few versions where brass buttons are sometimes still used, lending it to more dressed-up looks. This style is slightly more casual, sharing elements with some styles of worker jacket.
The nautical theme is a good starting point for styling this coat. Fisherman rib knitwear is another way to keep the look aquatic. Black and grey are comparably formal options, while khaki green gives off a military vibe. To avoid Captain Birdseye jokes altogether, try rustic, autumnal tones like camel or burgundy. Depending on your surrounding pieces, a sturdy boot, brogue or minimalist sneaker can all complete your look without clashing with what is a supremely versatile coat.
From the high, wide collar, it should naturally taper to your waist before flaring out slightly at the hips. When doing it up, remember to keep the bottom button unfastened like you would a double-breasted blazer.
And on cold days, leave your scarf behind and pop the generous collar for a Redford-approved way to look great in the winter. The sheep farmed in the local salt marshes provided the ideal strain of wool for knitting nautical gear to keep the local sailors and fishermen warm.
