Anyone know of a good peacoat?

[Servo2000]

i think those are pretty standard peacoat buttons. at least the utilitarian ones are normally those buttons. but i also wouldn't be surprised if it were spiewak or some other regular non fashion brand

I just used "huge buttons" to refer to those specific ones which doesn't really make sense in retrospect. Those exact buttons there look like the ones on a Spiewak coat I tried on recently that looked very similiar in most respects to that coat otherwise as well.

^^ thats a nice coat... does it have any back vents? also, since i'm a larger person, if i was to order this, how would i tell my sizing. they say measured by chest, but is that similar to measuring for a suit? cause i know i'm a 42-44XL in most suits.. (american measurement).

where is this company based out of?

[evisu 2000]

anyone know who makes a peacoat with this type of collar? or know what it would even be called? i'm about to go through the whole thread though x:

Is There a nice OLIVE GREEN Peacoat? more slim fitting? Help me find bros!!

I am looking for the same thing... slim fitting for a 34in chest. does not even have to be a true peacoat, just wool and a good color military green.

i saw this ndg coat in the store yesterday but did not bother trying it on, it looks pretty much like a typical boxy surplus pea coat and the smallest size is medium.

I'd guess Spiewak. Huge buttons look like a Spiewak peacoat I saw recently.

It's Schott.

Model number 740, quilted liner, 32 oz. wool, anchor buttons, NY company founded in 1913.

Definitely Schott.

Yes, it has a back vent.

[jeepster]

Yes, it has a back vent.

so it is somewhat fitted?

and for chest measurements, thats pit to pit? or is it the same way the measure for suits?

Same as suit measurements. It's pretty fitted, as pea coats are naturally fitted by nature. Although they are slightly bigger to accomodate for winter layering.

of course, but i have a kenneth cole peacoat thats basically like wearing a large wool sack. no vents, no tailoring, very boxy. plus, after dry cleaning it, it was considerably thinner for some reason. i did wear it through the rain a lot when i was in london for a couple weeks last winter, so it might have worn it out by the time it had been cleaned.

Schott pea coats are very thick and heavy (they are made of 32 oz. wool). You may want to try one on before buying. Most Army Navy stores should stock them.

they're very nice in the oxford grey too. damn. wish i knew if the army navy stores around here weren't as redneck as i assume they are, and i'd be happy to go check (gangly and tall, very obviously jewish kid in a army navy store HAH).

these coats are american made though?

EDIT: i would rep you for the avatar. i can't place my finger on the name, but i have many vivid memories of that image from a long time ago.

The Schott pea coat is made in the USA. The website is www.schottnyc.com They have a store locator, so you can probably try one on before you buy, although the best prices are online. (try galaxyarmynavy.com)

I got the oxford grey color instead of black.

Actually, I've been looking for the same thing too. I don't really like the flat collar look. I was hoping for something mediumish long, slightly slim fitting, with the curved collar. Tell me if you find something.

[whorishconsumer]

I don't know how anyone can fit into those damn things.

[eastcoastrider27]

I love peacoats/jackets with high collars that can also fold down... kind of like a starched shirt collar...

I'm not into a "popped collar" look but dammit collars aren't meant to just lie lazily down on your shoulders.

Collars might not be, but lapels are.

This isn't really a peacoat, but I couldn't find another thread it'd relate to better. Does anyone know of a coat that'd look like this?

After unsuccessfully trying to track down an oxford grey Schott pea coat for weeks, I just ordered a Sterlingwear Mariner.

Apparently I have to wait 4-6 weeks for delivery though.

[nyc_flash]

I've noticed that both the long and short "original navy" peacoats before about 1978

have a really nice slim fit to them.

So if one were to go vintage, the fit is really quite nice and modern.

[doctorworm]

I tried on the peacoat supreme did this season and it fit me shockingly well. I figured the fit would be really shitty and I expected not to lke it, but it was really damn nice. The styling is very minimal and classic and it's made of moleskine which is cool because it's water resistant. I'd say it's a pretty solid option for a classic somewhat slim fitting peacoat.

[eastcoastrider27]

I forgot to check the lining of it when I was last there.

Is it quilted?

[doctorworm]

I can't remember... I think it was but there is about a 50/50 chance of correctness there. When I try to remember the inside of the jacket all I can remember is the tag.

please post photos

[eastcoastrider27]

Well I would, but I just canceled the order cause I couldn't wait that long for a coat. I ordered a black Schott 740 instead.

[breakfasteatre]

I think this is a large? but definitely doesnt fit like one, sleeves are strangling my arms

enapt i think is the brand

other than the arms its great, its fully quilted

Just picked up a Spiewak Dugan peacoat -- I like it a lot.

Maybe I'll get pics up later

I'm supposed to be getting mine in the mail today.

I tried it on at a store after having ordered it and found to my dismay that its rather boxy, which I was warned about. Also, the sleeves are a bit short, but if I choose ot keep it I can get those tailored.
