The Real McCoys

I have a pea coat landing from Japan at my office today.
get the iron heart one Rafa, unless you're into historical, rest assured IHW05 will make you

This is from Real Deal in Japan. I'm not sure that it's that much warmer than IH, the length and flap pockets were what I liked. It doesn't have storm cuffs as the IH one does so the arms are probably not as warm.

Thanks gents. I am a huge fan of the extra flap pockets. It is so handy to have extra safely usable exterior pockets on a pea coat, especially given how they are kind of a hassle to take on and off / open and close. Perfect for car keys and gloves or even as secondary handwarmers.
The flap pockets and resulting length are what steered me to this model and it's worked out well. The details just keep revealing themselves as premium Japanese brands tend to do. I'm smitten.

Very cool davito, thanks!
They should make it "extant," if you will. Freewheelers makes one but it's over U$D1,000. The 1913 pattern is a winner in my book, I hope others follow suit. An IH one with slat instead of flap hip pockets, retaining the storm cuffs, and adding a silky lining (nylon or something) particularly in the arms (the cotton-wool twill lining on relatively small arms makes getting into the arms a struggle with beefy clothes on) would be a good 1913-inspired variant.

The accurate inner lining appeals very much to me as does the whole coat. Funny enough the person was mentioning that "problem" with the cotton inner lining i know of the freewheelers and like that one also very much, the inner stenciling seems to split the minds but i like it. Gorgeous coats, now up and enjoy this beauty man

Wow. Outstanding coat man.
