I see that's where RRL got their inspiration from then:

Pity about the patch pockets though. I suppose they were trying to tread...
Some (what looks to be) interesting articles from Free and Easy as highlighted in the ACL.
Anybody reads Japanese?

Agent, sounds like you need to get the retailer/seller to measure the peacoat as per Peacoats instructions on the sticky thread.
That should clear up what size you really need. At the moment, it sounds like there may be an error/discrepancy in how measurements are taken.
It'll be interesting to hear from owners of repro peacoats by the high-end makers of Buzz and Real McCoy.
I wonder what the tangible differences are in the wool of the repro versions compared to peacoats of the equivalent vintage era ie. pre WWII to 1960s.
Very interesting doc, I wonder if the repro versions like Buzz's peacoats actually have the same wool used in the vintage kersey peacoats

It's a pity even Buzz chooses to use Melton wool rather than Kersey since they have gone to the extent of using the pre WWII buttons.
Probably a difficulty in sourcing Kersey wool.
Thankfully the supply...
Cheers Mr Peacoat. It's always reassuring to hear your views, that sticky dating thread is an outstanding resource btw.
I will probably end up getting that particular coat though I am a true size 38.
Will be getting it so I can layer an A-1 or a heavy RN rollneck under.
I hope that's not...
Thinking of buying this peacoat on ebay. It has however an unusual tag.
From mr peacoat's sticky thread, it's probably c. 1952 although there are a few discrepancies.
For one, the 'Name', 'Service No.' & 'Size' typeface are all in capitals which is contrary to the sticky thread tag...
Both are goodyear welted and by reputable manufacturers. Trickers has been brilliant but I have not worn them in a while because of a changed work situation so they are both for sale.
