Put This On

It’s On eBay

J. Press Peacoat

I’ve long been an advocate for actual vintage naval peacoats, rather than designer knock-offs, but this is a beautiful jacket. The fit’s about a 42R, I’d say.

Starts at $100, Ends Monday

Here is some advice I have shared before, but bears repeating.

If you’d like to own a pea coat, buy a real one. Get one from the 60s or earlier in good shape from eBay or a vintage store.  It will probably cost you less than a hundred dollars. Here is how to date a pea coat.

There’s less than zero reason to buy an inferior contemporary version, and it’s absurd to buy some designer’s knock-off. Get the real thing. It will be both cheaper and better.

I also need a better peacoat… *sigh*  What I really need is a bigger paycheck. 

Pants are too long, tie knot’s too big, but besides that, this is a fantastic look.  Winter color!  Hats!  Duck shoes!
