15 numbered sizes. not s m l xl.
4 different lengths.

I have 1 button under the collar and it is on the right hand side.

Anyone else think the sterlingwear pit to pit (on the back) is a bit constricting? When I drive and both my hands are up, the back is very tight.

What is your measured chest size?

anyone have any suggestions on a single breasted wool coat, slim fit and less length than a car coat? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick and accurate response. I've also seen the JCrew University coat, but they are out of slim fits in charcoal. I am looking for a charcoal coat, if it's out there...

If your posts here are any indication of what your emails to them are like I wouldn't be suprised if they are ignoring you.

There's a big dfifference between asking:

1. I'm interested in the Navigator. What size would you recommend for these measurements....?

vs.

2. So, let's say I'm walking down the street and carrying a bag of groceries and I stop to chat with a nice looking girl. Should I unbutton my Sterlingwear and sit or should I leave it buttoned and keep standing with my right hand in the pocket and left on the bag of groceries? Also, is the left pocket big enough for a pair of numchucks?

Looking for a grey wool peacoat for a short guy for under 150.. any suggestions?

anginaprinzmetal · Nov 30, 2010

What do you guys think of a vintage one, found a nice one from 1973 Pembroke melton wool, would you buy this or go new.

May be somebody can answer a few questions:
1. Would thIs be 100% wool or some sort nylon/wool fabric?
2. If wool would it be a tight weave, would it stop some wind and rain? 24 vs 32 oz?
3. I'm 40R (5'10" 155# athletic build w 32-31 waist) for reg jackets, should I stay true to size since it's vintage or go down to a 38R for a snug fit (not constricting though)?

Thanks in advance!!

The vintage pea coats are 100% wool that is of thicker material and are weave denser. I believe from Peacoat's article on Fedora Lounge that anything after late 70s/early 80s will be made from looser weave wool. I have a 39" chest and just won a 1970 Pembroke 38R made from kersey wool on Ebay so I'm hoping it will be nice and slim. If not, you will probably see it in the marketplace.

anginaprinzmetal · Nov 30, 2010

Cool, post pics!! I'm affraid the 38r will be too tight though.

anginaprinzmetal · Nov 30, 2010

By the way, any experience w vintage trends? Thanks
