it'd be really great if someone can post more classic/mariner pics

btw im 6 feet tall, 34-35 chest but with a 20" sleeve inseam....i'm considering a mariner in xl


I was wondering the same thing while browsing the thread. I guess people just want the authentic because its the most simliar to the real deal in the navy? I'm not sure. I've heard the classic isnt as padded in the shoulders as the authentic which help your shoulders not look too awkwardly broad. I myself just ordered a Classic peacoat but will have to wait a while to receive since i ordered a 30s

Just noticed that my Sterlingwear had a defect. The materials and craftsmanship are truly superb but the only thing that ticked me off was that the shoulder seams were not even. I tried to hang them to straighten them out and no luck. Also, the collar does not stay popped..

Anyway, I decided to ship it back and go for the RL Authentic Pea Coat. It's arriving today and I will keep you posted with pics.

Sounds good man. I usually wear a small but I'm medium in a few things so for the price and the 14 day warranty I'll probably go for it. I can always get it tailored, too. Anyway, I'd like to hear how yours fits.

I'm 5'8 tall / 37 chest / 145 lbs and the 34R fits me perfectly.
I would suggest you go with the 32S

I really like the navigator but I ended up returning it because there was a defect in the shoulder seam. A minor error that I cannot get through. That's just me being OC

Except I'm confused as to how he's going to alter the chest to be bigger than it is currently. Always return stuff that doesn't fit, even if it will cost you some hassle and shipping. You'll just end up selling it at a greater loss in the future. If everything else fits right, the cut is just not right for you on that one.
