Wandering the racks of the new Topman at The Bay on Queen Street, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by some of the shop’s trendier pieces. But if there’s one thing the English do well, it’s the classics.
Free of unnecessary zippers, prints and questionable contrasting, Topman’s navy wool skinny-fit pea coat sells for $156. Topman took the original sailor’s garb and narrowed it down — good news for slimmer guys who can take advantage of its physique-enhancing double-breasted design without sacrificing a tailored look.
Wooden anchor buttons complete this callback to nautical heritage, but if you’re feeling particularly salty, earn major style points by asking your trusted tailor to switch them out for brass originals. It will be well worth it.
$156. Available at Topman at The Bay, 176 Yonge St.
