Sterlingwear of Boston & Schott of Canada
I know Spring is right around the corner but now is the time to shop for winter coats. Case in point – Sterlingwear of Boston, who makes superior, military spec Peacoats at a very good value has some great deals at Vermont’s Barre Army & Navy. Sterlingwear’s 100% wool, fitted “Mariner’ Peacoat is $139 and their “Navigator’ Peacoat which is also fitted and has a full satin lining can be had for $99. All of the Sterlingwear coats are union made in East Boston. Hurry up as sizes are going fast. The glowing testimonial at Ask Andy About Clothes has me sold:
“After reading several positive reviews on the site, I decided to check out Sterlingwear of Boston and their selection of Peacoats.
After realizing they were located in East Boston, about block from where I grew up – I decided to call and ask if they took orders in person and if I could come over and look at some of the styles. They were extremely helpful on phone and were happy to get a visit from a customer, since most of their work is via internet, mail order and by contract with the US military.
To make a long story short, I went to the factory and met with Jack Foster the Director of Sales. He was one of the most helpful people I have met in years, and showed me around their facility, showed me some of their authentic Peacoats, some of their fashion designs, and some of the other things they make. I settled on a Navigator, which is basically the authentic US Navy Peacoat – with full satin lining. Got measured and special ordered it in Navy. It cost $159 dollars including all taxes and UPS delivery to my front door.
I received my jacket today (less than 4 weeks after my order), and I am totally blown away with the quality of the material, workmanship, and style. Honestly, if you are looking for a Peacoat – I suggest you give Sterlingwear of Boston a try. A really great bunch of people, making fantastic products, at amazing prices.”

I myself own two Sterlingwear peacoats. Cant say enough about how good they are. Classic clean design. Sharp shoulders. Bullet proof.
Thats probably the reason I cant make myself buy a new winter coat for about 3 years now.

I bought my first Sterlingwear coat three years ago and it still looks like new. This by far the best coat I have ever owned. I have the Classic in red, and am now getting ready to get the Maria in pink. I found Sterlingwear when I committed to buying American made products whenever possible. I can’t say enough about these coat except to say BUY ONE!
