Men's Leather Coats

Leather coats come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing remains common among them; all of them are comfy as hell while also tipping the scale for style and fashion. Not many pieces of leather outerwear have the same balance between function and fashion as the leather trench coat. Despite their huge variety, leather trench coats and leather jackets are consistent with their promises. Whether you purchase a long leather coat or a hip-high one, whether you like the ones with or without fur, one thing that will always remain the same is the level of quality and real-world use that you’ll be getting out of it.

Are Leather Trench Coats Good for the UK Rain?

Leather, in general, is a waterproof material. Rain will fall on it, small beads of water will form, and roll off. This makes all men’s leather coats waterproof to an extent. The thing to keep in mind, however, is the fact that different types of coats have differenþ types of effectiveness against the rain. A coat like the men’s long coat, which was specifically designed to keep the soldiers dry on the battlefield, will be the best raincoat in most scenarios. Likewise, a men’s leather coat with a leather hood will also provide additional protection. On the other side of the spectrum, the men’s leather coats with fur like the shearling coat, especially the one without a hood, might cause issues due to its fur getting wet and then taking a while to dry out.

What Are the Different Types of Leather Coats?

As mentioned earlier, men’s leather coats in the UK come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Let’s take a look at some of these different variants, and find out what kind of outfits work best with them.

Trench coat:

Known for its fascinating history and countless appearances in popular media, the trench coat is a part of pop culture. The vintage vibe of a trench coat is not an easy thing to replicate with any other piece of men’s outerwear. Trench coats in the UK specifically have a very entrepreneurial and sophisticated businessman kind of connotation attached to it, a look that you can easily pull off today with the right combination of a trench coat, a waistcoat, and a tie.

Leather duster:

The leather duster represents everything that is remarkable about the cowboy culture of the past and its influence on modern media. While riding your horse through the lands of Texas in the mid-1800s might not be possible unless you build a time machine, what you can do instead is dress up as one with our leather dusters. If that is not up to your alley, or you’re not a huge fan of cowboys, then you can try to create a contrasting fashion statement by pitching the vintage leather duster against the contemporary garments of today.

Peacoat:

If the trench coats were a soldier’s shelter, the leather peacoat is the prideful uniform of high-ranking naval officers. It is this close connection with the navy that made this leather coat a success in the UK and the rest of the world, but it has moved beyond that connection. The peacoat, as it stands today, is one of the best leather coats out there on the market. The black leather peacoat, in particular, is great for achieving a posh and overall dapper look.

Shearling coat:

Shearling coats are often crowned as the best piece of winter outerwear in the UK, and it is easy to see why. They are extremely warm thanks to a combination of sheepskin leather and long fluffy fur that further helps in entrapping the wearer’s body heat. On top of all these practical benefits, the shearling coat just looks classy. A brown leather shearling coat, with a pair of blue trousers and a cream-coloured wool sweater, creates an outfit that is the epitome of trendy business casual.
