SIZING/FIT

The MF 2023 Naval Clothing Tailor Denim PEACOAT ships raw/unwashed, and will shrink to intended/tagged size after the following initial process:

Cold soak for about 30-40mn, with occasional hand agitation.

Line dry.

Wear briefly before fully-dry to set creases, then hang until fully dry.

We recommend getting your usual size in mfsc jackets/coats. Do not size down as the arm hole opening may become an issue. The FW2023 Okinawa Denim Peacoat feels a bit tighter in the chest than its companion.
Im ~57 140 lbs and went for a 38 in this 301 Okinawa denim peacoat model, even though I tend to navigate between 36 (Small) and 38 (Medium) lately.
Please check out our measurement chart and compare with a similar garment you own that fits you well. To dial in your size, also consider your layering preferences.

CARE

DO NOT MACHINE WASH.
This garment is too heavy and voluminous for a regular home washer, even one boasting Heavy Duty settings. A machine wash cycle will either ruin the jacket, the machine, or both.
Hand wash highly recommended: Fill a tub with cold water, add a minimal dose of eco-friendly detergent, immerge the garment fully, let soak for about 30mn, and delicately rub. Rinse, hang to dry.
Spot cleaning with a wet rag will usually work for minor stains.
Professional eco-friendly dry-cleaning is also an option, but may alter the indigo color.
