I’m a big fan of classic styles. Maybe I’m just a nostalgia buff or maybe I actually am starting to heed that old adage – classics never go out of style. So, I try to buy classics and wear them for years. Simple skirts, good wool coats and sturdy, yet classic dress boots are standard winter wear.

As small children wear nothing for “years”, with the exception of ripped, torn and way-to-small articles of clothing in which they are forbidden to leave the house, buying classics for kids is tougher. But I try.

So when I saw this very affordable, wonderful pea coat, I just couldn’t resist writing about it. This navy blue wool coat brings back memories of winter days as a child. I remember the wonderful pea coat I proudly wore throughout the ‘70s. Both warm and sturdy, this classic sailor’s coat is made to withstand windy winter days at sea. Since, we have windy days on land, if not gale strength, they often feel like it, in many parts of North America, a thick wind resistant coat is a must.

The simple double-breasted style works well with just about any outfit and is gender-neutral meaning this can be handed down from girl to boy to girl!

This winter accessories features two deep outside pockets for keeping little hands toasty and storing those often errant mittens and an inside pocket for valuables…sticks, tiny dolls and unfortunately sometimes snowballs.
