Men's Navigator Wool Peacoat— Black

First off: I’m not exchanging it, and I’d buy another if the sale price comes up again. Fabric is lighter weight than the older pea coats I’ve seen in vintage/surplus but feels like a very tight weave, warm and wind proof. Workmanship is 10/10, I won’t be surprised if I pass this on to a grandkid someday. My big “but”: Sterlingwear’s size chart (the same chart McG’s passed on to me) recommends sizing up (eg: size 40 for a 38” chest); various online forums tell you to go with your suit size. I’m a 37-38 depending on the day so i went for sz38, thinking it might be spot on or just a tad snug (fine, i have narrow shoulders). This particular 38 fits me like a 40, maybe a 42. Huge. I’m keeping it, though, as wearing it is a half coat/ half snuggly blanket sensation and the goth kid in me loves it. I’ll size down next time if I get the chance. But, awesome coat, and I’m so happy to own this bit of old-school USA heritage.

The coat was better than expected. It actually said 80/20 wool/nylon but when I received it it says 100 percent wool!! I am thrilled because that is really what I wanted but can't find one anywhere without spending 500-600 dollars. For 200 bucks a coat that will last a lifetime, I am extremely happy. And delivery was quicker than expected. Thank you so much!

I'm very impressed on the quality of the coat and the sizing is right on point. I got many compliments on this jacket and looks better than the more expensive ones.

Pea coat is as good as far more expensive models and in more comprehensive sizing. I was happy to find extra extra tall. And I couldn’t believe how quickly it arrived here in Alaska.
