    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    Received a 40R and 38R Authentic from Sterlingwear earlier in the week. I'm 6', 175lbs, and have a 42" chest. The 38R fit well; quite slim, but not constricting. I was surprised at the quality of construction, but disappointed in the billowy arms and giant (and I mean giant) floppy collar. When...

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

     I appreciate your empirical approach to sizing recommendations and do agree that size across manufacturers and with certain materials differs wildly, preventing objective suggestions in a void of context. However, given that we're discussing only a handful of garments in a handful of sizes...

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

     My chest, measured, is 42 inches. The suits hanging in my closest are 38R. As I said, I find the J.Crew Bayswater in size medium a bit too big. The small is a bit too small. I will never wear a sweater underneath the coat and prefer a trim fit. With that, do you lot think I should order...

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    Guys, I'm considering ordering a Sterlingwear Authentic, but not certain on sizing... For reference, I'm in-between a small and medium in the J.Crew Bayswater peacoat. I'm thinking 38R or 40R. What say you?

    Teach me about shoe trees

    I bought several pairs of Woodlore Ultra trees in what I'm assuming is the correct size; the size recommended by Woodlore corresponds to the size of the shoes. When I insert the shoe tree, it fills the upper, puts quite a bit of tension on the vamp and straightens out the sole. I imagine this...

    HOW TO BOOT TUCK: Pants must be skintight or have a sharp taper. Basically the key to a successful tuck is to make it look like that is the only possible way your outfit can go. A good test for aesthetic sucess is to ask yourself if you have to constantly re-tuck? if the answer is yes, it's...

    Is Kiwi Parade Gloss bad for shoes?

    This is a load of tosh. I have a pair of four year-old Paul Smith oxfords I wear the hell out of and polish monthly with black Kiwi Parade Gloss. No cracks or damage and I constantly get complimented on their condition.

    Why does new shoe make "whooshing" sound with each step?

    Could be worse, the sandals I was issued in jail squeaked like a goddamn dog toy. You know how embarrassing it is, your first night in, to squeak squeak squeak down the hallway while everyone watches you? Not likely as embarrassing as the first time your cellmate pulled down your pants.

    Why does new shoe make "whooshing" sound with each step?

    Just returned home with a pair of heavily-discounted Ferragamos; the "Fantino" model, to be exact. As I walk around in the quiet of my own home I notice each shoe makes a "whoosh" and I can feel air being drawn over my feet, inside the shoe. Did I buy a size too big or is there a flaw with the...

    Shoe dust bags for shoes separately or together?

    I see a consensus is failing to form.

    Shoe dust bags for shoes separately or together?

    I own several pairs of decent shoes, all of which that were sold with two shoe bags. Should one use a bag per shoe, or put the pair in one bag?
