Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

[Peacoat]

The coat is too big for you. You need to go at least one size down to a 34. A size 32 might fit you better, but they are almost impossible to find. Hang on to this one, and when you fill out, it will fit you. Don't have it tailored. Leave it the way it is.

What is your actual chest measurement in inches? Not the jacket size you normally wear, but your chest measurement as explained in the guide. This is the first step in determining what size peacoat you need.

Chest measurement is 36” maybe 36.5” which is why I figured it would be the right size. Maybe I don’t have standard body proportions? I’m 5’7 and my waist is a 26 so maybe my upper body is a bit larger relative to the rest of me.

I agree with Peacoat. That coat is too big for you.

Thanks Jagg. I got in in the UK from a seller on flea bay, we’d been chatting for a while about it before I decided to go for it. From the pics it’s in remarkable condition but I am a bit worried about the size, it’s a 42, as Mr. Peacoat says, as the P2P measurements are 22” but the shoulders are 20” across according to the images. The previous owner must have been a silverback or something! The only way to find out is to get my hands on it and try it out. The seller has been superb and agreed to accept a return if it is too big. Annoyingly, I’m in London all week and the coat has been delivered already to my house in Norfolk. I won’t see it until Friday…
