Anyone know of a good peacoat?

[SLAB]

someone owns the Schott 740B peacoat on here? I wonder if the quality is any good and suitable for somewhat colder environments

Navy's standard of 32 oz melton wool meaning yes for suitable for colder environments and quality must be good because Schott is a well known brand.

Also, 740B is boys sizes if you didnt know.

Here's a pic of the Sterlingwear. For reference, it's a 32 tall and I'm 6' 2"-ish, 140-something lbs.

fits great, is that the navigator?

[Mr Fingers]

Yup, it's the Navigator.

I'm 5'10" only about 120 lbs, do you think going with a 32 regular sounds right for me? my chest is about a 32 when inhaled. maybe i should go with the 30r?

The 30R should be fine. Guys on styleforum generally say size down 2" from your measured chest while inhaled. Or just as easily 2" smaller than what you normally wear tagged. So if you wear a 38R normally a 36R should be fine for a "fitted" look.

I'd be hesitant to order the Sterlingwear peacoat sized down. I ordered my correct size and it fits well with button up shirts/ tees/ thin sweaters, but is a def no-go for wearing over bulkier sweaters and sweatshirts in colder weather.

Plus, even with a thinner shirt on the jacket is still kinda tight through the armpits and across the back.

thoughts on this corpus coat?

anyone got pics of it worn?

Quality dosen't match the price ($750 AUD). Poor buttons and hardware. The epilets are pretty riduclous. Interesting fabric though.

I would cop it on sale in the US and modify it.

i got a schott peacoat a few years back, haven't worn it till the past winter though for some reason.... the jacket is defnitely WARM. the fit however is not a very fashionable one, its pretty stiff, boxy, and not exactly slim, but it keeps me warm and looks pretty descent to me, so i don't care

A good example or idea :

[kidaradio]

the best peacoat that i bought was from an Army Navy Surplus store (in Greensboro, NC)

[dismalfuture]

A good example or idea :

That is too short IMO, it should reach almost near the crotch. On mine, the buttons would space out a bit more, the lapels and neckline would dip down further and more aggressively, and I like a bit of stand in the collar, in case you need to pop the back up.

This fall there's an incredibly luxe piece from Spurr. Cashmere peacoat in gray. It's available for pre-order at Bloomingdales.

Agree with this. Longer cut and lower button stance creates a more refined, sleeker silhouette than the one pictured in the Yoox photo (which is a more utilitarian and conventional cut). Also like the attention paid to collar detail/function

[dismalfuture]

I'm gonna buy some more, nicer, peacoats and take a seam ripper to them. I have a vintage navy issue one that I tore apart and have a pattern for, but I want something with a cleaner, more aggressively shaped/dimensional collar and lapels that 'float' a bit at the top and then come to rest on the torso, as well as a slight bit of shoulder roping.

I also prefer a very slight flare from top to bottom, but I will probably achieve that with a mild combination cutting in the midsection and something from the back panels...

Seadog Peacoat by Denham (from Cultizm). Probably only for people who are seriously into vintage workwear. That thing weighs a ton.

The buttons are positioned too high but the spacing is a good 3" if moved down i believe the jacket would immediately look better. The lapels also aren't that great I agree with your styling suggestions. What do you think about making one that is a bit longer like you propose and one that is shorter than the one pictured (like cropped style in particular the Dior Homme one with the zippers at the end of the sleaves)?

[illumin8em]

I have two pea coats from the 50s (corduroy lined pockets, kersey blue), and they both are more refined than anything that I have seen lately, cut longer, and the buttons are set lower. I think this attributes to making them not so top heavy. Unfortunately I am selling them both. It took me a lot of searching and two coats to figure out the right size combination.

[mellowfellow]

my apc peacoat from last fall.

i am short so I need jackets/coats that are slightly cropped.
