Rakuten Pea Coat...

[Bungee Man]

Man, ok, that took a while - I really need to learn how to use a camera. Anyways, hopefully the discrepancy is just from me not knowing how to take proper measurements.

Wow, that looks really nice! Are you happy with it?

hey digital_denim, thanks for postin' pics with your measurements. i'm the same height as you, but far underweight (130lbs). i don't think it'd would fit quite as well for me as it does for you. you just saved me plenty o' time and effort.

Thanks daikonyama for those pics! The coat looks really good! Its strange how there can be a 2inch difference with the same labeled size (m)! Although it does say on their website that "there is somewhat an individual difference" between each coat. Grrr! Daikonyama we need your measurements now if you dont mind, height and weight. I wish the coat was a little warmer (DD said it wasnt that thick material) because then it would be perfect for me I need a warm coat for Germany this winter.

Now I really want that coat. And still no money.

when i was in ueno, i bought a jacket by inapt. while the design impressed me, the craftsmenship was lacking: the buttons kept falling out and things were not always symmetrical. you get what you pay for.

and yeah they run very small

[freshtakk]

just how thick are they?..would layering with it be able to withstand some pretty nasty winter weather?

[a_slew_of_mice]

just bought the last L black. I'll provide measurements when it arrives. Any idea how long it takes to ship?

[daikonyama]

Hey guys, I'm in the 5'5", 120 lb mark... If you have a problem with the jacket, it will most likely be in the arms or shoulders being too tight is my guess...

[SilentBlue]

The original site is sold out guys , anyone know anywhere else I can purchase this coat?

edit - also, for anyone that can read Japanese, is there an "enter e-mail here to get a notice when we re-stock" option?

Assuming mine doesn't fit when it arrives and no one in my social circle is interested in it, I'll give you guys first e-dibs since I wouldn't have noticed it without this thread.

How long does it usually take for shit to arrive from Japan? 2 - 3 weeks? Ya'll might not be interested in it by the time it arrives. Ah well.

[MIG]

it shouldnt take that long. I read somewhere something about one week.

[docnbhd]

Just a heads up.. I think there are a few medium grays left in stock at super rag, I was checking out the site earlier. And what does everyone think about the Admiral coat: http://www.rakuten.co.jp/super-rag/523562/1776304/

Seems pretty nice, has anyone picked this up?

[Bungee Man]

I like it.

[Morningstar]

I like it too. It looks better than the peacoat in my opinion.

[senseiireland]

Sorry guys. Mine came today, and they didn't switch it with a large, but it still fit. I won't be selling it anytime soon. I'm 5'11, 140lbs, 37'' chest, with neck to wrist length of 33'' and this somehow fits me perfectly.

This definitely won't keep me alive during the bitterly cold Canadian Janurarys, but it's awesome in the meantime.

You should post some pics of you wearing it!

[a_slew_of_mice]

Just got my coat in. I'll take some pics later tonight and include some measurements. I tried it on real quick and somehow I think the Large fits me perfectly and I'm only 5'8" 140 lbs 36 chest. The arm holes are a little low for me and I can only raise my arms about halfway before it gets too tight. I was getting very worried when Senseiireland, being 5'11", said he fit into his Medium quite well. I just need to get the sleeves cut shorter and maybe get it taken in just a tad at the waist/hip and then it should be good to go.

[a_slew_of_mice]

As I said before, this is a Large. I'm 5'8" 36 chest 140lbs. Note that I do have the sleeves rolled up inside of itself about 1".

Actual measurements of the coat:

18" from shoulder to shoulter

28" from bottom of collar to hem

26" from top shoulder to end of sleeve

[daikonyama]

Haha, seems like I was the only one that got jacked with a wide cut coat.. I guess I can fill it up with long sleeve thermals - girls will be all over it.

[MIG]

nice a slew of mice.

daikonyama...the fit of yours looks really good in the pictures, you still keeping it right?

[daikonyama]

Yeah, I'm keeping it. These jackets were a good deal ; )

Still looking for a winter jacket though...

[crisis]

Thanks for the order info, put in an order for a grey large. i'm normally a US 38, we'll see if this works out.
