In 2022, you’re more likely to cop a technical down jacket with a lightweight, insulating lining than a wool coat for winter. We get it, they’re lighter and more effective, but do they really look as good? For centuries, wool was the go-to material when the cold hit, and while down padding has replaced it for the depths of winter, it’s still a contender for fall.

Wool coats retain a sense of formality. Even in the form of varsity jackets and bombers — as you’ll see below — wool coats feel like a return to all-too-rare classic forms in menswear. Whether you’re styling tailored trousers or loungewear, wool jackets will fall in line where a down jacket risks visually downgrading your fit.

Below, we hit the pages of Harvey Nichols to put together some of the best men’s wool coats and jackets for fall and winter. Names like Rick Owens and Givenchy accompany Moncler Grenoble, Reese Cooper, and more to prove that all sides of menswear still believe in wool coats.

Shop the best wool coats for fall 2022 below.

Often, wool coats are at their best when they drop below the knee. OAMC gives us some seriously good, oversized energy here, complete with big lapels and an incongruous zip fastening.

More patchwork, please. We're still not done with patchwork, especially when it's rendered in subtle greys like this. The Wilas Overshirt from NN07 is super versatile and easy to style as well as being an ideal partner for the transitional weather.

Lanvin's Pea Coat is a little more true to its roots than the earlier Givenchy style. Featuring six buttons to the front and a large, button-shut collar, it's a formal piece of outerwear that can see you through some hairy weather, too.
