Did I mention that the Whitman (& the Pea) are irresistibly touchable?

THE WHITMAN - SOLD OUTVaute Couture's decision to make men's pea coats -- the Whitman (mid-thigh length, featured on this page) and the Pea (shorter, top-thigh length) -- is a lifesaver, especially for those of us in cooler climes. Through innovative fabrication efforts, VC has produced a coat with all the warmth of wool, but without the scratchiness; a coat with the quality and durability of same-to-higher-priced wool options, but without supporting the rather horrifying animal abuse endemic to the wool industry. VC also managed to substantially utilize closed-loop, zero-waste, and advanced recycling technologies. Impressive, huh?
Thankfully, even while taking several huge technological steps forward, VC kept its aesthetic focus simple and timeless. Double-breasted peas with notch lapels like the Whitman and the Pea will never go out of style. They're classics that you'll be able to wear for a long, long time. Sorry!
