I ordered the M79 coat from Sterlingwear a week ago, but did not hear from them at all after the initial confirmation email. I have called them several times, and every time they assure me that my order is going out soon. Now today I finally got an email from them saying the coat I ordered is out of stock, and it will take several weeks to make it. Does anyone know how long it actually takes them to produce and ship a coat? I need a winter coat soon, so would I be better off looking somewhere else? Thanks.

Since so many posting pics of their peacoats, what do you think of this peacoatish? Being it not a genuine US navy one.

I think it looks pretty unappealing.
Can you take a picture with your legs and shoes as well?

I think your peacoat could look okay as long as you don't wear it too casually.

the major problem with that peacoat is the /\\ shape, your shoulders look tiny compared to your waist. were there any options that were more slimming?

It would appear that Gap has a pea coat going on for $89. Can anyone vouch for Gap's pea coats? http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do...d=1&pid=792532

was you referring to me when you mentioned tiny shoulders and rotundness? It isnt clear.

I think it looks fine, maybe too long. Then again, I'm not a fan of the huge padded shoulders + sized down 3 Sterlingwear torso fits I see in this thread.

Ugh tried the J.Crew small on with a flannel underneath and it was super tight in the shoulder areas. No worries about it ripping, just incredibly uncomfortable. So I don't know if I should get that and live with it and just wait for it to stretch a bit or go with the Medium, which doesn't look as good.

Medium+tailor. Fit in the shoulders/chest is the most important; everything else can be tailored.

that fit is good, but i don't know i don't like it. i think the waist is off for some reason, doesn't have a nice v-shape to it. but it does fit you well otherwise. and the arms are maybe 0.5-1" too long?
