      @michaeljcr:

      Any advice on a suitable alternate? I hear the Schott NYC version is ok, but I've never had anything of theirs.

      Don't know much about peacoats myself but there is loads of info about then over on http://www.thefedoralounge.com/forum.php
      There's even a chap there called peacoat who seems very knowledgeable.

      Cheers! I never thought to check there. Having a Homer Simpson moment…

        The proper Schott peacoats are great, but there are lots of versions. The most commonly available version in Europe is made from wool/ viscose, and is not very nice at all as it is very itchy and feels cheap. The US made version is great, 100% wool, quite soft, and very warm, if you can find one reasonably priced then they are certainly worth a purchase.

        One word of warning, they size MASSIVE, check measurements before you buy closely.

        This is the good version….

        http://www.amazon.co.uk/Schott-NYC-Wool-Coat-dark/dp/B0042YSIJ0

        This is the bad…..

        http://www.asos.com/Schott/Schott-Cyclone-2-Insert-Pea-Coat/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1753637&cid=3606&Rf900=1494&sh=0&pge=35&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Navy&utm_source=google_product_search&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=google_product_search&WT.tsrc=Google%20Product%20Search

        Cheers! This is really useful, I might try the 'good' one. Very unhappy with the original one I bought, which is a shame, as it seems fantastic apart from the pocket/button stitching issues.

          what ever happened to this:

          @Beatle:

          wondering if it's worth starting a  thread for the IH-7526J - basically blanket lined jeans jacket with front pockets..

          so many gems seem to not make it out the gate  😠

          & why never any conversation on SOPHNET, them seem to make some really great stuff  bit on the expensive side, but dope none the less

            That's the best jacket I've seen here. Just a sample? No production?

              Sophnet….man, thats a blast from the past. I used to have a Sophnet x Nike FCRB knitted sweat. Great quality, but ridiculously expensive.

              The Internationalist sneakers that Nike did with Sophnet were amazing, and now impossible to get.

                    That did make it out of the gate, we sold it about 4 years ago.  No plans for  re-issue…..

                                    Anyone tried these yet?

                                    http://www.saddlebackleather.com/Old-Bull-Belt-1-75-Wide.html?sc=8&category=1280

                                    Curious as to what you guys think.

                                    I've just received their 1.5" Tow belt, in coffee brown, which is built like a tank. I'll do a review soon, but if you're buying one, look carefully at the belt sizing instructions. They run big, by about two inches, which combined with the hole spacing seems to mean if you want true to size, go one down. That's just my opinion, based on my 38" fitting like a 40". Great belt though.
