IHW-05 - 32oz Melton Wool Pea Coat

@SimonQ.:

so, the guys wearing xl/xxl - did you size up or took your normal shirt size?

I usually wear a XL in iron heart shirts and i went with a L in this jacket. enough space to wear a sweater underneath still.

I too have just picked this baby up and am very happy indeed.
Size wise,I wear XL in everything IH and went with the same for the Pea Coat.As Giles says,the sizing is a touch more relaxed than usual,so there's room for a layer….If i was looking for a more vintage fit,i probably could have even sized down to an L,but the shoulders are spot on and I'm very happy that i can fit a decent sweater underneath...it's a winter coat after all.
I've had a few peacoats and this one is very special indeed...i was looking for a new coat as my vintage one was getting a hammering and it's 53 years old now!! the search is officially over.
This one is exactly what i was looking for.

nice deadendpro

Paulc, please post some pics of your IH and the 53 years old vintage pea coats that would be awesome

I am pretty much always a xx and I went back and forth for a minute on weather or not to go to a xxx in this because I can't imagine not wearing a sweater or something of the like under it. I decided to go xx and feel like it was the right choice. I don't think sizing up is necessary with these. Mine feels exactly how I would want

Very jealous guys, it looks amazing.

I wear an XL in the IHW-02 (although I will wear a thin north face fleece under it whenever I wear it) and an XL in the IHW-01 (the original version). I sized down to an L in this, and I still have room for the north face under it

I tried it in a rainy day, but with a temperature of 54°F this coat is faaaaar too heavy, unless you take it with just a t-shirt!
IHW-05 is the perfect companion for a pair of 25oz' IH jeans.

There is another detail to note: unlike other pea-coats, IHW-05 can be buttoned on both sides.

Was this really a problem with other pea coats?  My vintage WW2 coat buttons fine on both sides.

So, mine arrived at my house in Philly (I will have to wait another 3 weeks until Xmas holiday to actually see it) but I got this little message from my mom:

"The pea coat is beautifully made like all iron heart stuff and its rather heavy in weight but i guess you know that"

 

[Omega Man]

Did you ask how much you paid for it ;D?

[thomasnunnally]

No, she knows my spending habits very well…

"Problem" is a a strong word, but I have one that you could only buttoned on the right.

So, G, do you think this will be re-run next year?

[JCar2666]

^^ I sure hope Haraki will.  I waited too long to pull the trigger this time.

[Giles]

I think we will re-run, I discussed it with him in Hachioji…..

[Joule]

Just arrived today.  Fit is perfect.  Thanks Paula & G

[FurattoHeddo]

Great pic! Feeling envious though

[JCar2666]

Perfect fit Joule.  May I ask what size you got along with your chest and height measurements?
