Your aware that coat is a blend of several synthetics with some wool? I have one peacoat and a couple in peacoat style and four all wool overcoats from them all purchased at final discount. The overcoats are pure wool and very nice, their peacoats while nice are a blend, usually wool/nylon. I think the price for that coat is a bit inflated though nice pattern and color. If you don't mind the traditional navy peacoat J.Press has one on sale for much less and it's a very nice coat, soft and warm. There are others as well, I believe O'Connell's has one on sale. Both under $300.00. Good luck.

The O'Connell's doesn't look bad. What's wrong with having synthetics in?

Nothing if your fine with it. While I have one of their peacoats and two others of their's in wool/nylon blend, they're
fine for the amount of times and occasions I wear them and at the price I paid. However, they don't compare to a Pure wool garment in my opinion. When manufacturers started adding nylon to wool the hype was that it made the garment less prone to wear, etc. not in my book. More a matter of economics. Today they add all sorts of so called miracle synthetics, polymide for one. I wasn't trying to dissuade you from purchasing it, just pointing it out and that there are other options albeit maybe not in that pattern or color.

Thanks for the info Eclectic. Here are a few more I found. From Shcott for $360: https://www.schottnyc.com/products/classic-wool-naval-pea-coat.htm
Very good looking.

I have that Schott pea coat, heavy and somewhat stiff and slim fitting, coarse texture. I bought it through an outfit called Legendary, they suggest sizing up with good reason. Mine is size 46. I'm currently between a full 42 and 43/44 slim and that coat is still slim on me though it does fit, couldn't wear a very bulky sweater with it.

The Reiss can be had for $300 after rebate. The O'Connell is "75 percent reprocessed wool, 25 percent nylon and other fibers."

The J.Press is 100% wool at $237.00

I walked into a Reiss for the first time a couple months ago and I was appalled at the quality. While I did not see this pea coat, I looked at a few top coats that were unwearable. The cuts were such that it was impossible to move the arms. The salesman asked me why I need so much arm movement, and I told him that I need to be able to drive wearing an overcoat and that I sometimes need to grab a pole on the subway or bus. The cloths of these topcoats were also not proper cloths for these and were sports coat weights. The salesman didn't think that people should want warmth or wearability from their coats, just a "slim" style. I didn't get the impression that anything from Reiss would be worth $350.

Glad I bought all mine when I did, at least 5-6 years ago. The overcoats I got from them are 100% wool and fairly heavy, 2 of which are on the trim side but still comfortable over a suit. I haven't seen anything from them lately that I would purchase. I could never buy or be able to wear suits or sport jackets from them. I have no need to purchase such items any longer, have way too much, but there are still some merchants out there that carry proper outerwear. Suitsupply is another one when it comes to overcoats.

Awesome. O'Connell does not have my size and JPress's return policy sais that "Items discounted at more than 25% purchased online or by phone are not refundable".
I get one of these two:
