Billy Reid Peacoat

Looking for a Black or Navy Billy Reid Peacoat preferably one a Small but maybe Medium. Huge import fees if I buy from their website so hoping someone on here could maybe help me out!

I have a black medium. It's still quite stiff, only used one winter and not entirely broken in. Simply selling it because I already have one in navy and two is overkill since I hardly would have any time to wear them both (mostly wear topcoats in winter).

Thanks for getting back to me. I’m hoping to find a Small if someone has it but I’ll leave it a bit and might get back to you if no one offers anything up! Thanks again for getting in touch, really appreciate it.

Still looking for a Small Black if anyone has one and is willing to part. Would offer a very fair price!

Still haven't managed to procure a Black Small, but there is a deal on Billy Reid at the moment selling the Coats at 50% off!

They had the Navy in a Small when I posted. I think they've been a bit crafty as all other sizes disappeared within seconds of the deal going live. But maybe I'm just being cynical!

I have a quick question for some of you that own the BR Peacoat, I currently have a cheap alternative and the thing is an absolute lint magnet. I've pretty stopped wearing it because you can't keep it from looking like its been used to dust mop the floor. Obviously the BR is made of higher quality and better overall fabric, is it still difficult to keep it from looking linty? Thanks in advance, I'm watching for one as well but would like to hear what to expect.

The wool/polyester blend on the Billy Reid peacoat is pretty good and i haven't noticed any major accumulation of lint. Keep in mind i usually give it a quick once over with a lint roller every few months unless i've been to a friends place where they own dogs/cats then i do it when i get home.

I have owned the wool/nylon blend one (90 %/10 %?) for few years now and occasionally have to use the roller but haven't faced any major issues with lint.

I'm sure you already know this, but the jacket is top notch, very well made and durable and as well warm. I have used mine for up to -30 °C (-22 °F) with no issues.

Thanks, did you guys go pretty much by the size chart or is this coat where either sizing up or down is suggested? I'm a 46 coat, 34 waist, so I'm thinking XL???

I went for my usual size on this one, "L". I think taking a "M" would have been wayyyy too fitted !!! I'm a 42 chest.

I'm a 44/46 depending on manufacturer and i ultimately went for an XL. There are days i wish i went with a XXL if only for the roomier shoulders and a little more room in the chest for layering. Definitely take your shoulder measurements into consideration!

In my opinion the jacket is quite true to size, but the overall cut is rather slim. And as mentioned above, especially the shoulders are on the tighter side! I personally went for S (I have ~39" chest) to achieve the SA look and the jacket is very fitted in the shoulders even though my shoulders are average width at maximum. So if you have particularly wide shoulders compared to your chest, you might want to size up and have it tailored down elsewhere.
