J. Crew Bayswater Peacoat fit

[tinsley]

I bought the J. Crew Bayswater peacoat in black, Medium Tall. I am 6'4, 185. I think the shoulders and chest are perfect, the sleeve length as well and I have long arms. The only thing is I think that the waist could come in a couple inches. What do you guys think?

I think it looks good. You don't want to have it flare out on your hips and have an hourglass shape.

^^ that. It seems to fit well.

Looks mint! Nice when you can find a fit like that.

Nice! I just ordered this in a small, and I'm really hoping that it fits. I'm 5'10" and 145 so I debated a while between S and XS

[grasking]

@tinsley; That fit looks fine.


@Allen Luo; I'm 5'8" and 155 lbs. and very happy with the fit of the small.

My policy on cold weather clothes is to leave some room inside for layers so I think taking it in would be a mistake.

The fit doesn't look baggy on you at all. I'd keep it the way it is.

Im tempted to get this jacket but I got a cheap H&M this season already. Is this a Jcrew staple item that is offered every year or is there a new model each season?

[LesserBlackDog]

Mystix, I'm not sure if J.Crew offers this exact coat every year, but peacoats are definitely a staple of a men's winter wardrobe and I would be pretty damn surprised if J.Crew didn't continue carrying them in the future.

[tinsley]

Thanks guys! The model on the J. Crew site for the Bayswater had the coat hugging his sides, which is a good look in my opinion. I guess if it starts bothering me I'll see what my tailor can do. Now, on to getting some 8" Bean Boots - ship date is Mar 8th for my size though!

[jason_carreira]

Do you have an LL Bean store nearby? Mine usually has a pretty good stock on hand.

tinsley, that fit looks good from your pic. I actually wish mine fit me more like that.


Size reference if anyone else is considering buying this, I'm 5'5, 135ish and got the XS. Fits pretty well, but it runs a bit longer to the thigh still.

[Harry]

@KC - Any chance you can post a picture as a reference? I'm interested in the XS and I'm a couple inches taller and about 10 pounds heavier.

[mystix]

Harry,


I think we are the same size then.


When I went to the store and tried on a small, I remember it being pretty big. Most memorable are the sleeves were long.
