SUITS+BOOTS — For the reader with the Schott Pea Coat question, I just got a 740N last month and can weigh in on this. I ordered a size 40, which is my actual chest measurement and was my suit size the last time I was fitted, and I actually had to exchange it for the 38. My normal size was QUITE roomy. I’m a half foot shorter and 40 lbs. less than the reader, but I’m still broad shouldered for my size, and there is still comfortable layering room under the smaller size.

Thanks!

Maybe size down then, anon.

Also, other responses:

I own the 24oz coat (the 1 with fake sizes), and I like this pea coat a lot. The sizes aren’t as defined, so you may get an XL that fits the chest, but hangs off your shoulders a bit, or vice versa. Pull the trigger, and you’ll be happy you did so.

micronhero:

I wear their slim peacoat w/ leather trim in sz.42 as they advise you go up 2 sizes. Warm enough to get through the mild-ish Portland winters, but doesn’t allow for much layering. I like how the cut is sharper than the traditional surplus peacoat.
