Shopping Guide: The Best Men's Coats

Vintage Plaid Topcoat | $250 at Banana Republic
Great tailoring details--notched collar, center back vent, inner welt pocket, and a covered placket closure at center front. And you can't beat the price for this quality.

Theory "Delano" Long Coat | $795 at Nordstrom
Made of merino wool, this coat is soft, sleek, and streamlined. A great way to face the winter months.

Spiewak Nunatak Duffle Coat | $170 at Urban Outfitters
Toggle Coats Rock. But besides the toggles, we love the hoodie and the handwarmer pockets (great for shielding yourself from adverse weather) and the tailored seamlines.

Wool Military Coat | $195 at Armani Exchange
What can we say, Military is still Hot for Fall/Winter. We love the epaulets and the oversized pockets with hardware detailing on this coat.

G Star Ward P Coat | $290 at Urban Outfitters
This is a peacoat with an edge--and a distinctive look that makes it look like another coat genre altogether. We appreciate the wide collar and the foldover snap placket over the front zipper. Look for the rivet detailing on the side pockets and chest snap pocket.
