TAEK WON’s Pea Coat PiXXX…

Last Saturday I was at the local spot trying to cop a POLO USA red, white, and blue reversible joint bubble vest. They were OUT! Not happy, but it saved me $300. So, I check around do my usual search for a good deal on RL… BOOM! I ROBOCOPPED a navy blue wooly POLO pea coat! Bananas YO! I know, I know… The kid TaekDOLO wasn’t already up on his essential gear pea coat game? admittedly NO. I am NOW! I got the run down here for you. Originally worn by sailors, and made of wool. Today they are still made of wool, and has retained its original design for the most part.This jacket is a must for all wardrobes. Navy is revered the most, but black will do too. Check these out:

Monitaly – OOOHHHH!!! I straight lost it when I saw this charcoal fruit flavor striped joint! Thing is nuts here! designed by Monitaly’s designer Yuki Matsuda and made with pride in Hermosa Beach, California. If you got $800 burning a whole in your Vuitton wallet, get on it. www.openingceremony.com

Alpha Industries – started back in 1959 here in the USA. Alpha Industries made jackets for the military, and due to their quality garments they have crossed over into mainstream retail. Super affordable, and super durable makes them a WIN, WIN! This pea coat comes in at $125! Smoking deal son…. Just saying. www.alphaindustries.com

Golden Bear – I know its cliché, but I saved the Best for last. Here we got a Golden Bear coat made expressly for Unionmade goods, which happens to be my favorite retailer… Again California is reppin hard, this here joint was made in San Francisco’s Potero Hill of 10.5 oz. Cone Mills ring-spun indigo canvas with white and red selvedge.  So, So, So DOPE. I’m in LOVE! www.Unionmadegoods.com
