Thanks for the kind comments.  This peacoat is a reproduction of the pre-WWII U.S. Navy jacket whereas I don't think that the IH peacoat is intended to replicate any specific model.  This one is made of 36 oz Melton wool, very tightly woven.  I saw the pictures of the IH peacoat on the Forum and wanted to get it, but it sold out too fast so I did some searching and this was the one I liked the best.  It is really nice when you see it up close.

I take an L or XL in my IH shirts and I got this jacket in tag size 40.  The shoulders are probably as narrow as I could go (I tried it on with the IHSH-64 and it was fine) and the chest measurement is perfect.  Here are a couple more shots:

Thanks for your impressions and pics, RP.  Congrats on the great coat.

The Pea Coat looks fucking great on you RP.  I too missed out on IH's version of the Pea.  I over thought and waited too long…...

Oh and more fit pics please.

[RP]

JCar:

As requested.  I love this jacket.

RP, that peacoat looks a lot better fit in these pics than the previous ones. A real lifetime coat.

Here's mine.

[Qinhan]

Wow!  That looks fantastic.  A perfect fit.

[Mild7]

Beautiful coats you got there RP and Big Truck.  Damn i wished it snowed here

[RP]

Big Truck-The jacket looks great, and the photo is really nice as well.  Although you cannot tell from my photos, I can assure you that you win in the hair category…

[big truck]

Well flattery will get you everywhere guys! RP - I am in desperate need of a cut ha

[davito]

very nice peas RP and big truck, you wear it well

[JCar2666]

A little late but thank you again for the added pics RP.  A Pea Coat is my main article of clothing I must obtain for next winter.

My old man's Buzz Rickson Collection (Christmas presents from me):

A-10 Army Air Force Flying Gloves

ODG A-4 Watchcap (left) and William Gibson Collection A-4 Watchcap (right)

He loves all of these items. In the winter, he is always wearing his A-4. He's a machinist who runs a turret lathe

Generous presents man. What did you get in return?

[MikeC]

My ass wiped when I was a kid…

[Qinhan]

Seems like a fair trade to me.

got a rare chance to compare my bz watch cap too a mister freedom and a original one all at the same time today when me and shane went to klaxon howl

the bz is cut closer to the og but i felt the mister freedoms material was a little closer in weight to the original
the buzz was a little thicker
but with 50 plus years on the og's it is a bit hard to tell

still think the buzz is the best one out there

[seanocono]

I've always been interested how the Buzz compares to the original.  Thanks for your impressions, Nate.  Sounds like I need one.  I wear my IHC-16 all the time.  Different animals, I know, but that's a good thing, actually.

i would have loved to have a real mc coys one there to, to really get to the bottom of it all
the difference in the cut from the buzz/ og to the mister freedom is how the top is stitched closed
bz/og is a six point and the mf is a 4 point
