Here in Alberta, winter weather ranges anywhere from October to April, and a good casual winter jacket is a must. Most people just use a ski jacket, but I find that they're not ideal for most outings. That's why a few years back I added my Burberry peacoat to my collection, which then consisted only of topcoats and ski jackets.

Burberry is famous for their peacoats, and with good reason. It's all about the details. Lined pockets, taped seams, reinforced buttons,  and an exaggerated collar that guards my ears from the wind when it's up, among other things. I now wear this jacket almost everywhere for the better half of a year, and for that reason it's definitely one of my 10 essentials.
