    How do you button your jackets?

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Delighted to have received a 1940s peacoat recently in a size 42. Marginally trimmer fit than the 1970 peacoat that I bought a month or so ago and also in fabulous condition. Fit is also very good, even the sleeves! @Peacoat Ron, does this look like a 1949 label?

    Who's Who in the A-1 jacket world?

    If you’re in the market for an A-2, then Good Wear is the best hands down IMHO. The choice is wider where the A-1 is concerned, but my preference would still be the ELC for the capeskin jacket. If I can just persuade @johnlever to part with his...

    Who's Who in the A-1 jacket world?

    I’ve owned multiple copies of the A-1 from Eastman, Good Wear, and Bill Kelso. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, as you might imagine, and it depends what you're seeking (i.e. whether accuracy matters to you). For accuracy to pattern, the Eastman is probably to closet as it’s...

    Newbie ~ advice on what’s what with different jacket patterns

    I own neither pattern, but it strikes me that they are both pretty trim, relatively short, and preclude any serious layering. If you’re set on a Himel, then my suggestion would the Canuck. In the right size it will probably allow a little more room. I have Freewheelers Brakeman and Journeyman...

    Good B-15 or B-15B Reproductions..

    I’ve had multiple copies of both and they are both very authentic. It’s subjective, but in my opinion while the B-10 looks more stylish, the B-15 was more practical in use with the handwarmer pockets.

    FS: Ralph Lauren 1914 pattern (10 button) Peacoat XL size

    I have recently shed a few pounds in weight and have lost a couple of inches around my torso. I’ve picked up a couple of original peacoats (a 1970 and a 1949) in a 42/42R. Consequently, this beautiful Ralph Lauren ‘Polo’ peacoat (my go to winter coat) is now way too big in an XL and is for...

    Tradeoffs - Himel Bros vs. Freewheelers?

    I don’t have a Himel (came close, but opted for a Dave Sheeley custom instead), but I have owned four Freewheelers. I currently have two: a horsehide Brakeman and a Deerskin Journeyman, both autumn/winter jackets with wool lining. I’ve retained the stormcuffs in the Brakeman, but had them...
