One of the great dilemmas men face in the winter is needing a warm coat for professional and formal occasions. While down puffers and waxed canvas jackets are great options for everyday wear, they look utterly out of place on top of a dressier outfit. Thankfully, one of Nordstrom’s best wool coats for men just got marked down by more than 50%—and it is a steal.

The Nordstrom Hudson Wool Car Coat is now on sale in gray and black for as low as $175—up to a 53% discount off the original price of $375 for a total savings of up to $200. This Nordstrom jacket has been turning heads, too, earning a 4.5-star rating after nearly 60 reviews, which makes it the most thoroughly-reviewed jacket made by Nordstrom this season.

The Nordstrom Hudson Wool Car Coat is a five-button, single-vent overcoat that falls perfectly to the thigh and is made with a 100% wool shell. Wool, by nature, is water-resistant, odor-resistant, and warm, but the jacket includes a lining and a polyester fill to lock in the heat. The standout feature here is the interior bib, which transforms this car coat from a traditional button-only style into a multi-closure jacket that zips and adds a ribbed turtleneck collar. It also conveniently has several interior pockets that are large enough to hold your phone, some mail, or a set of gloves.

There are many types of men’s jackets that look great with fancier outfits but an overcoat like this is by far the best option. The lightweight, classic trench coat has been the businessman’s staple for decades, offering plenty of wiggle room on top of a suit but typically not much in the way of warmth. The popular men’s peacoat style, which is typically made of warm, dense, water-resistant wool, is another great cold-weather option but isn’t always long enough to seal out turbulent wind. Overcoats like this one do it all, but that’s just one reason why shoppers have gravitated toward it.

Many shoppers agree that this coat checks all the boxes. One shopper went as far as calling it “perfect,” praising how “stylish, incredibly warm, super comfortable” it is. “Have received several compliments on the coat,” they added. They also called out the interior breast pockets and how convenient it is to have zippers on them.

Other shoppers have been impressed by the coat’s fit, stating it’s the right shape for layering. “It’s a beautiful coat with many fine details,” one shopper said. “The cut is perfect—not too boxy and not too fitted. Easy to layer a sweater underneath for extra warmth. A new staple in my wardrobe.”

At 53% off, the avid Nordstrom shopper is likely akin to the tremendous value of the marked-down Hudson Bib Insert Wool Car Coat, and sizes are already flying. If you’ve been looking for the perfect overcoat to wear to work, to formal events, or even to top off a smart-casual outfit, this is the coat you need. But grab your size quickly, because we anticipate this selling out soon.
