With these unseasonably warm days we've been having this December I haven't had much chance to bust out my Navy Peacoat by British brand Wolsey, but a there have been a couple of fresh days to take advantage of. Ain't no proper Christmas without a little cold snap, wool coats and a glass of brandy - so I'm hoping the chill arrives pronto.

I used to associate Wolsey with my Grandad's selection of groovy golf jumpers and socks, from the late '80s, but when you do a little research on the brand it quickly becomes clear that they're one of the most important British outfitters of recent times. Not only are they responsible for supporting Captain Scott and his team on their heroic 1911 race to the South Pole, and British troops throughout two world wars, but they also have 260 years of experience in garment construction.

For this mega milestone Wolsey has created a British-made collection, inspired by their rich heritage. I've been wearing peacoats for donkey's years, but this one from the 260 Collection is by far the most detailed and luxurious one I've owned. The soft, but robust fabric will take a battering in the Northern weather this Winter, but I have a feeling it could go a few rounds somewhere a heck of a lot more treacherous.
