kylegrey Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Best military jackets you can get are from The Real McCoy's , Buzz Rickson and John Lofgren - all Japanese companies specialising in this stuff , super good and super pricey just depends on where you live and how much you are willing to spend . The Real McCoy's - Superdenim Buzz Ricksons Europe - Jackets Otherwise deadstock originals come up on e-bay from time to time although people are asking silly money now probably a lot less pricey if you are in the U.S .

pidjones Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 The originals aren't going to fit like the one in the picture without taking them to a tailor. And, they really don't keep you very warm. Too many places for wind to get in. Almost as non-functional in today's world as a 13 button square fly, open v-neck shirt with a big flappy collar, or a white hat that doesn't keep the sun or rain off and won't stay on your head in sea breezes. Very functional 200 years ago, however! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually quite warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougetheeyes Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Got a totally legit one from Burlington Coat Factory years ago. Works fine if you're all layered up, I actually remember being surprised how warm it was when I first wore it out. (Although I was 25 and it was my first real 'winter' coat in probably 10 years..)

CultExciter Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm looking for a slimfit peacoat EXACTLY like this one http://i.imgur.com/5R1QA5d.jpg . Try ASOS.

kylegrey Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Schott do several slim fitting versions also . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeepFried Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 What is this styleforum now? But seriously, you can go the Army-Navy/thrift store/ebay route. If you want the real deal, it's Sterlingwear, Schott, or Fidelity, which is what I have. (Not quilted on the inside which is good for Cali.) They come in suit sizes (i.e. 42, 40, etc.) -- very trim, no tailor necessary. Real Melton wool is very rough. J. Crew & Ralph Lauren make a more refined version, but pricier.
