Has anybody else seen this in person? It's got a single deep pleated and belted back. And those silly patches can be removed. I think it's unlined,( I didn't try it on) so that price is a little steep, but as soon as it gets cheaper, I'm grabbing one.

I've seen one. Other than the patches it looked like a nice jacket. Didn't try it on or look inside but the material was fairly thick.

It's a nice workwear style jacket with a belted and bi-swing back. I tried one on and it fit well and was very comfortable.

Don`t blow Pennys off,sometimes you get lucky there.

 

[Peacoat]

Why not just get the real thing--vintage, in wool, and probably at a better price? But then, as my name implies, I am a promoter and fan of the real thing.

You show it to me, and i will buy it. I have been busting my butt for over a year to find a plaid peacoat with those pockets, and not the mackinaw shaw collar versions for $700. I found one about six months ago, but narrowly missed out on it in a fierce bid war on ebay.

I purchased one of the peacoats from last season. Warm, decently made and comfortable, got it for $20 after applying multiple coupons on the purchase (15% off, $10 off, one more). Just removed the patch and good to go. Leaves a matted spot on the coat permanently however.

Penneys also has a 1930s style reversible plaid jacket. Belted back with some pleating as well as adjustable side tabs. Tried one on, really warm and comfortable.
It was originally $200, now $119. Might have to get one when it goes on sale more.

Picked this up today for $39.98!!! I'm not sure why it isn't that cheap online, but it was in the store. WELL worth it! The missus is removing the patches as we speak.

Check out Johnson's

These usually run around $200+. Probably a lot higher quality for not too much more and made by a company that's been around for many years.

he it's on sale for a really good price now too, though I still prefer filson's cut over Johnson mills

Yes, Filson rocks

I agree, Filson's the standard in my mind but it's $200 + more than the Johnson. I like the liner Johnson uses too and the fact that it's lined and not scratchy at all. I have a couple of their vests, one with a similar liner and it's really comfortable and durable. I live in Texas so it's hard to justify anything this warm but I'm trying really hard to justify it.
