cheers concerned parent,

mauro, i'm only standing that way so people can see the fit of the body. if i stood with my arms down normally it'd be nigh on impossible to see the fit of the waist.

thekunk, i always thought this too but the double breast makes this feel warmer than a single breasted knee length coat which is what i'm used to wearing.

shoulders look a tiny bit off, but if you wear something thick underneath, its probably ok. a little long in the sleeves. I think you could size down, but depends what you're planning on wearing underneath.

The balls need a lower temp to produce more sperm. Just trying to keep the boys at max capacity.

I don't think the cropped peacoat suits you... get a real one

No offense, but I do not like this coat. What does it look like not buttoned all the way up? The fit looks dodgy in general, like you should size down except then the shoulders will be too tight probably.

I like super tight stuff so this isn't my cup of tea. But honestly, besides the sleeves being too long and maybe too baggy. I don't see whats too wrong with the peacoat for a more regular fit.

The cut is such that it's going to emphasize your hips (and sizing down will only do that more). Waist suppression only looks good (IMO) if the skirt of the jacket is long enough to at least cover your butt. I guess I just don't get the point of this coat.

looks too big in the chest/shoulder for you... should try taking a fit pic with something bulky like a sweater underneath and the sleeves need to be tailored

I know absolutely nothing about peacoats but i'd still say size down... :p I do like the look of a cropped peacoat in general though, i've seen a few recently.

Sleeves are too long. Rest of it might be ok with a thickish sweater underneath.

Why the breast pocket? For a pocket square? The gathering thing on the back makes it looks like womanly. Short jackets make slim people look curvy, and that kind of thing accentuates it.

What's wrong with a Schott? Maybe I am missing the boat with this.
