A lot of info, but not too many pictures so I figured I'd offer one of my new Inapt p-coat purchased from Rakuten in charcoal grey...

 

[apocalypse later]

I really didn't want to deal with all the Sterlingwear discrepancies with sizing down, and after much frustration, I just went to J.Crew and picked up their pea coat.

It came out to be only $205 with the Thinsulate lining. I'm pretty pleased with the fit of it. The sleeves could be a tad slimmer and the waist could be taken in a bit, but other than that, the quality is great and the fit is slim enough to wear.

Not to mention I really, really just can't stand all those buttons on the Sterlingwear coat. I think a pea coat should be minimal in terms of buttons--I know it might not be "classic" but I just think it looks better.

Paul Smith. Quite nice, I think.

that PS is really nice. but is that a center vent?

i never liked center vents on coats and especially peacoats, where they are thicker, they have a tendency to jut out more and looks sort of sloppy on the side profile.

i rather have no vents or double vents(but i dont think they make cropped or shorter peacoats with double vents, just no vents)


my b.son peacoat has a center vent i noticed and that is the only complaint i have about it.

hehe. sorry. i saw that coat on friday morning and was surprised there was one left in Large, my size, and hurriedly purchased it in fear of somebody taking it from beneath me!

it is really sweet, not to rub it in, but i am going to place a photo of it later. great slim cut. great look

hahaha its all good, glad to hear it has a good home

i'd love to see fit pics, B. Son fit is always great
and if you wouldnt mind, think I can get some measurements for the sz. L?
a few months ago i was just a bit too big to fit in B. Son sz. L but since then I've lost weight so depending on the measurements I think I'd be able to wear it if i found another one for sale
please and thanks

i dont have a tape measure on hand at the moment, but the chest feels and looks like a 45 inches (22.5 inch across from pit to pit on the outside of coat)

 

[MonkeyFresh]

[sho'nuff]

[MonkeyFresh]

I just ordered a Jcrew peacoat. They marked them down and a friend hooked me up with an employee discount.

Anyone have any experience with these? I'm hoping for the best.

Is this the B.Son peacoat you guys are talking about? http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.p...roducts_id=347 If so, we just marked this down 40%... if you want it let me know..

 

[sho'nuff]

no that is not the one. yours is nicer. mine is from fall 07 collection, it is a charcoal waxed cotton peacoat not with a leather collar like on yours.

we were just talking about the blue bee sale which marked it down from 550 to 110. amazing

'pinned' means when the center back is darted inwards on a coat/peacoat and then in the center it is sewn together, correct?

what is the the proper or the original peacoat back design: pinned or single vent?
