Dock peacoat in herringbone

I bought this "novelty" J crew navy Dock Peacoat with a subtle distinctive herringbone pattern that I nabbed at the post-holiday sale in early 2022. Its truly a fantastic piece that I got for a great price. Unfortunately the 1st peacoat I was shipped had a stitching defect reducing the usable space in one of the handwarmer pockets but I was able to exchange it at a local J Crew retail store. Its a warm coat & I really like the utility features like the corduroy handwarmer pockets, deep front flap pockets for storage, and the nice sized Napoleon pocket that is big enuff to fit a phone or a hand though would be better if it had some kind of zipper or button closure. Also would have been nice if the coat had a security pocket for a phone or wallet as none of the pockets can be closed. I am 5ft 8", weigh 200 lbs & wear size 42R suit jackets & found the large size fit me best. Measurements of the Large size peacoat I ended up with are as follows: shoulder width: 19 inches; chest width (pit to pit): 23.5 inches; length (center back collar to bottom hem): 34 inches; sleeve length (shoulder seam to sleeve cuff): 26 inches.

I love this coat, the fit is exceptional. Warm, cozy, and classic all rolled into one. It makes me sad that winter has been so mild this year because I don't get to wear it more often.

I’m glad I didn’t take the advice of other reviewers and go with my usual size. I typically wear a medium in shirts and outerwear from J. Crew shirts as well as other brands. However, I already own an older Dock Peacoat in a size medium and it’s comically large. I am 5’ 11”, 185 pounds with a 40 inch chest for reference. I decided to take a chance with a size small and it fits absolutely perfect. Enough room for a sweater but it looks tailored to me and moves well without constriction. I suppose I’d recommend that if you’d like a generous baggier fit go TTS, but if you want a sleeker look (that’s still not skin tight) size down 1 size from your normal.
