Best Mantel?
I'm looking to invest in a decent-to top quality Great coat. Preferably an M40 model. Anyone have a suggestion for the best maker?
Re: Best Mantel?
Really nice copy - imo better than STURM - for a good price:

you are right...
Re: Best Mantel?
I'm also interested in buying a M40 Mantel, has anyone else got a Zib made one? Any comments, good or bad?
I have used Zib before and have been happy with their service, just wondering about the quality of this M40.
Thank you.

Re: Best Mantel?
My buddy just got one from Schuster. It is a very well constructed garment.
Re: Best Mantel?
I had a ZIB produktion M36 Mantel. I sold it instantly. Now i got a gavin, it's very nice.
Re: Best Mantel?
Thank you, what was wrong with Zib's............colour, material, cut?WaA363 wrote:I had a ZIB produktion M36 Mantel. I sold it instantly. Now i got a gavin, it's very nice.
I've read good things about Gavins mantel but the sizes seem big. What size did you order, was it a good fit?
Re: Best Mantel?
The material on the zib was way too thin. It did not weigh as much as the original either. The color of the collar was too light green (Remember I bought a M36 Mantel). Did not like it at all. Sold it again instantly.
I bought my mantel as a size M and it fits perfectly. The best mantel I've had. I am going to replace my sturm M40 with a gavin M40 as well. (Mostly because I've lost weight). I find the sturm M40 mantel very good as well.
The only thing I miss in my gavin is size stamps

Re: Best Mantel?
Thank you very much for this information. I think I will order from Gavin.
I have 96cm chest and don't know whether to order small or medium. You say Medium is perfect fit, what size chest do you have?
Thank you

Re: Best Mantel?
I believe you should by a size small. My Medium fits my 103 cm chest.
Re: Best Mantel?
Yes, I think small would be best.
Thanks for your help.
