I was wondering if the sizing of Daley's sack coat is pretty true or do they run smaller. Is a size 44 a true size 44? I am a size 41 chest.

In my experience they run a little tight, being cut to period fitting specs which have a bit less beefiness than modern frames.Leland Hares, 10th Tennessee (U.S.) -

Thanks Leland. I am a conundrum with purchasing a sack coat. I have a choice between a CJ Daley(sz 44), Wedeward, and a W&W Co. They only differences right now is pricing and sizing (44 vice 42. All are in new condition.Bill Jordan

Re: CJ Daley
I'm assuming here that Chris's coat is the least expensive but the larger size. If money is an important consideration go with the 44. A slightly too big coat works fine, especially when you're wearing an issue shirt and a vest. Too small doesn't work nearly as well practically but from an impression point of view look at period photos and see how many GQ fits there are compared to baggy/tight.Last edited by john duffer; 01-27-2015, 06:43 PM.John Duffer
