who sells good 100% wool peacoats? cashmere blend is okay. I though about jumping on the Ralph Lauren one, with the 30% code.

If it is, I tried it on, and it's probably the best of all the high street stores in theUK, but that isn't saying much! The positive - it's was actually a really good fit on me. Negative - the wool was as rough as a badger's arse. The stupid little rivits on the epaulettes. Some of the stitching.


it's probably the same. this was the higher end one, not the LOGG peacoat that's about half as expensive. the fit was great, real slim through the waist but my shoulders weren't restricted. the wool was actually really rough, but maybe it would soften up after washing it. i thought the rivet accents were a nice touch.

sounds the same. I hadn't thought about the wool maybe becoming softer with washing, though I'm sceptical of it actually doing this.

I'll have a look at the rivets again - they're the kind of thing which is probably easy to remove

What i dont like about the h&m one is that there is no top button where you can enclose the chest area if it gets a bit chilly like some peacoats can.

if you do, tell me how it is. also consider the rugby one, its 300 and then the 30% off code

I'm debating between sterlingwear and Schott... and as far as sterlingwear goes I'm confused which style would be best..the diffrences are pretty subtle. I'm open to other recomendations including "fashion peacoats".

I just got this one: US Navy Peacoat. I really like it. Good fit and seems like it will be warm. I got the satin lined coat because it's more luxurious and it had a vent, where the quilted one has no vent.

How tailored is it exactly? That site recommends sizing up one which I'm very skeptical about.
