Hello everyone,

It has been some time since I have posted on here so I hope everyone is doing well. I have a few items for sale or trade. About 6 months ago I started working with a nutritionist and joined Crossfit. As a result, I have gained about 30 pounds and added 3-4 inches to my chest. While I am thrilled with the transformation, the downside is that many of my clothes no longer fit. Right, so first I have a Billy Reid Skyfall Peacoat which is a size large. This coat is from the original run and is the screen-correct color, wool, leather, etc. Since I have only worn this coat on the holidays, it is in pristine condition. I absolutely love this coat so I am hoping that I may be able to trade with another AJB'er for a coat in similar condition, but a larger size. Likely I will need an XL; perhaps even a XXL since these coats are fairly snug. If there are no takers, I will consider selling it.

Next, is a topcoat from Hugo Boss Selection which is TheStratus1 model. I purchased this coat because it is a fantastic budget alternative to the coat from the M's apartment scene in Casino Royale; which is assumed to be by Brioni. It is a beautiful black/gray weave. It is a 40R. The waist was nipped about an inch and the coat has no other alterations. If memory serves, I paid over $650 dollars for this coat and I am asking $300. Like the peacoat, I have only worn this topcoat just a handful of times for special occasions.

The last item is not a Bond, but a McQueen-inspired mackintosh like the one he wore in Bullitt. This is from Ralph Lauren-owned Club Monaco and is a size medium. I am particularly saddened to see this one go because I never wore it; it still has the tags on it. It is ultra light weight and unlined. It sports some really neat features for an inexpensive coat such as function buttons on the cuffs and an awesome fit with high armholes. I am asking $150 for this one.

    Looking back to the old posts regarding the Billy Reid peacoat, it appears that the sizes go up in quite small increments. I very well may need the XXL. I currently weight about 200lbs. It looks like Mantis got an XL and if memory serves, he is usually a M. If anyone has any input on the fit of their XL or XXL coat it would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I find Billy Reid's peacoat true to size.
    My chest measures 40" and I wear size medium.

    How many layers do you wear underneath?

    Typically not more than a light-weight sweater. The L is skin tight on me when I am wearing just a tee shirt.

    And what is your chest now? I am 40-41 with broad shoulders (don't know the exact measurement) and been thinking about BR peacoat for a long time. Just not sure about sizing for starters.

    I too have a 40-ish chest with broad shoulders. I had a size large and it fit very well with room to layer. My shoulders and arm length meant a medium was out of the question.

    Before I started working out again I had approximately a 41" chest. I just measured myself and I am a 44" chest relaxed and a 45"chest standing with excellent posture. Much of the gain in size is across my upper back as well, where I can feel the coat really pulling against my lats; especially when I lift my arms.

    I would still like to trade, but if no coats are available, in about a week I will reach to those of you who contacted me about buying the coat and sell it.

    Throwing it out there one last time if any members have a XL or XXL peacoat they would like to trade for a L.

    Also, cutting the price on the Boss topcoat to $200 and $100 for the Club Monaco Mac. Thanks!
