Don't take it in more. The silhouette already is slightly feminine, due to the curved lines.

I agree it doesn't need to be taken in anymore. Looks a little long in the body and a bit short in the sleeves. I like for my cuffs to end an inch or so below the wrist joint. But everyone is different. You only have to please yourself.

Looks like it's double vented. Here's a picture of the label.

Should I size down? Or just take it in a little on the waist?
Its Bonobos Halifax

Any help on finding out what make this coat is would be very much appreciated. The only clue I have is that there is a small brown rectangular label on the coat's right hand side (near his pocketed hand) but my TV isn't HiDef so I can't read what it says.

Corrie Street! Peter is a scum. That's his wife, Carla.

Looks good CP. Hope things are going well in AA. Need to make it back up there some day before it gets too late. Lots of good memories.

okay, I've been on the hunt for a peacoat for a couple of years now; I bought a pre WWII vintage peacoat last year but the fit was totally off.
Although I am usually a purist and go for the exact reproductions of military garments, I decided to change course and go for a jacket made by the Japanese Americana company Pherrows. Its their take on the 1913 (13 star button) peacoat. It is a modern fitted coat with most details intact aside from the fact that it is black instead of navy and not 100% wool (shockers!). So far I'm really happy with it; the sleeves are short but I like my jackets like that. The coat is made of a wool blend with polyester and acryl and seems to keep me warm enough for the current winter weather. One other important change compared to the original is the shape of the collar. I didn't like the combination of the huge collar and my small grape head so when I saw this coat, I was delighted to see they made it with a substantially smaller collar.

anyway, enough talk, here are the pictures

Damn nice jacket mate, fit is spot on. How much did this set you back?

J crew jacket I got from a user off here a little while ago. What do you think of the fit? I've put on a fair bit of weight, and feels a little snug.

Wow. You sure have. Better start laying off the pizzas, dude.

Nah, just kidding. The fit looks fine, in my opinion.
