Absolutely correct. The armholes and shoulders were the problem area for me. The chest was fine for me in the large. My chest is 39-40.

Uhm, I think you quoted the wrong person.

PS: I am a tiny asian person.

Haha it's fine.

One thing I found interesting was that while the sleeves were really narrow, the armhole seemed kind of low... noticeably so, but maybe it was just mine.

anyone care to comment on the quality of Inapt vs H&M peacoats?
because if they are similar, then i might as well just get the H&M one

also I wear 38R in H&M coats, so thats like size L for inapt right?
thanks

this has got to be the most overhyped peacoat in the history of sufu/styleforum. If you guys aren't 5'8 and 120 lbs, don't even bother; just follow chronoaug's advice and pick something up off of revolve with their 30% off codes or whatever.

I was at target today and ran across a wool pea coat from a brand named Merano or Merino or something. Anyway, it didn't look that bad for $60. They only had it in navy and gray herringbone so I didn't bite. Anyone else see this?

Merino wool is the fabric type.

It doesn't look bad on the rack because it's unworn. If you like it for $60, you might have to buy a few. I doubt they keep their new look for very long.

Dude I know what merino wool is but I was referring to the brand name. Hence me saying "from the brand name..."
