Anyone know of a good peacoat?

[implicit]

i wear my dad's old peacoat from when he was in the navy (circa 1975). it's slim fitting, warm as hell, and incredibly well-made (obviously, as it's lasted with little signs of wear for over 30 years).

I saw this one on a Yahoo.jp auction and quite liked it. Anyone know anything about the label (Hare)?

Auction's here if anyone's interested: http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g37056398

this label is on zozotown. here is a link to their website:

Seriously, check out H&M for a peacoat that looks almost identical to that Gucci one, and is £60.

Very slim fit, dark navy and is perfect in the arms (width and length) and overall length.

Why didn't I get one?

Well, I've got one from Topman from last year, £60, still an amazing coat, and they're doing them again this year. Again, great slim fit, slightly rougher feel to the material (looked on the label, and its something like 65% wool and then a mix of polyester and a tiny bit of viscose, but still alright).

Me to, me to!

Though Miz, are the pockets on yours (the outside pockets) stiched up? The one i tried on had pocket openings and then the one i bought had them sewed up. I can't get the pockets open, havent tried a seam ripper yet, but im wondering if they're supposed to stay closed. Seems like there is a pocket there to me. Weird.

[Work the raw]

are they completely sewn up, or just a few stitches - if the latter, snip away, dude!

Completely sewn up. But the other one i tried on had one pocket open and the other was just a few stiches.

Im confused

Anyone interested in helping me get the H&M peacoat? Next time they're at H&M? I don't have an H&M where I live, closest one is a 7 hour drive.

Man, I'm really digging the original one theory posted, from rakuten.

Is there an easy way to get that shit shipped out of japan? Or do I have to do through like a bidding service or something?

[pokpok]

i tried on a banana republic pea coat and it fits perfectly on me...but i dont know if the peacoat from BR is worth the $250 price tag

Heres some pics of an Uppercut Peacoat that I bought for about 400 dollars the other week.

Been wearing it and its really nice and warm. Has a removable hood and a removable collar gait/strap thing that really seals it up. When everything is up, it feels like im wearing a scarf! Also it has some nice touches like nickel plated (i think) buttons and zippered pockets in the arm (big enough for a pack of cigarettes or a cell phone/mp3 player). My only gripe about it is that the buttons seem really really loose. I reinforced the ones that get buttoned up, but I think I should do the useless ones too.

Its basically exactly what I was looking for and then some. But 400 dolla is a lot of money to a poor student like me...

What would be the standard shipping/EMS from Japan to US? I don't want to buy a $120 peacoat and pay like $70 extra to get it to me.

[Sillyone]

Theory makes a nice peacoat

[MIG]

I really like that pea coat from rakuten! how difficult is it to get one of those shipped to the UK? Also, can someone tell me how much it is? I tried to figure it out and came up with £45 and that can't be quite right... cheers for any info!

Haha, got me hooked now. I think I'm going to get that "inapt" one from Superrag. How does the military version fit?

http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=9883

That seems like a nice buy, but when they mean 34 Regular, does that mean 34" length wise?

[verver]

the uppercut peacoat is too short for my liking. a peacoat should be a peacoat, that hangs a little above mid thigh.

i second or third the h&m peacoat, slim, epulets, warm, the right length, and affordable. much nicer quality than what you pay for.

[cchen]

is the H&M peacoat 100% wool?

[goldengloves]

There was a Kenneth Cole peacoat on bluefly.com for only $130 and it looked fantastic!

[andy dufrane]

man this coat is sick. http://www.rakuten.co.jp/generalstore/444246/800180/

[pokpok]

i tried it on yesterday and i got all itchy from wearing it : (

good price tho, it was $129 right?

[mizanation]

wore my h&m peacoat yesterday and it did the job.

Yeah..got it when they first came out in the H&M store near me. Its very comfortable, but a little on the heavy side. I really like the fit. I believed is 100% wool.

i tried on a banana republic pea coat and it fits perfectly on me...but i dont know if the peacoat from BR is worth the $250 price tag

The one near me has them on sale now for $150. I tried it on yesterday and loved how soft it was compared to most other peacoats I've tried. I'm gonna dig up the 20% off coupon I have and go buy it. Feel/construction is way better than the H&M one for $129.

I just pulled the trigger on this jacket from Corpus. I'm waiting to try it on and see how it fits and feels in person (not to mention the color) before I decide whether or not to keep it. It should be here Thursday and I'm really excited.

I can't wait to see the paisley silk lining.

Corpus coats are so fantastic. I bought this one last year, and am still pretty much in love with it:
