    WWII Pea Coats

    I think I might like the Navy WWII material the best. I think my 1949 might be a tinch thicker and a tinch heavier but not as soft or smooth. I can't believe how heavy the '49 is. It feels like there is lead in it. It however is a size 40 and I will probably ebay it when the season opens up...

    WWII Pea Coats

    I just got my second WWII pea coat. The first one I got is a Coast Guard coat. This one is a Navy coat. I was surprised to find that the wool material on the Navy coat is sleightly different then the material that the Coast Cuard coat is made of. The Navy coat has this felt, velvet like material...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I was just e-mailing back and forth someone who enlisted and was issued a pea coat in 1964. The coat turns out to have tags from a 1950 coat???? If anybody is looking for a size 42 from 1950, said to be in mint condition, it is now on craigslist.org from Ohmaha. The asking price however is quite...

    Very Lightly worn Original Poughkeepsie A2

    I live right near Poughkeepsie New York. I have never heard of the Poughkeepsie Leather Coat Factory. I'm sure it is long gone. I do have a Cockpit A-2 that I just bought last winter.

    Pea Coat Size

    I recently just bought a 1969 Kersey. The tag has it marked as a 46R. I wasn't sure if it would be long enough for me (I'm just under 6'-3"). Surprisingly it fits great. The sleeve length and body length are fine. It fits me almost the same as my 1969 Kersey 44L. I would have thought that the...

    Pea Coat Color Touch Up Questions

    I'm answering my own question. I took a Marks A Lot dry erase marker. The color is a medium blue. I then lightly rubbed it over one of the grayish areas. I then took a damp rag and rubbed the area with it to even out the coloring, and absorb any excess. Some of the areas I did twice. The touch...

    Pea Coat Brush Suggestion

    For the past 6 months I have bought a few pea coats. They are all in excellent condition except that they usually come laden with dust, hair, lint, etc. I bought a regular clothes/coat brush for them to get all of this stuff off. First I usually vacuum them, then use the clothes brush. I...

    Pea Coat Measurement Questions

    Mr. Peacoat, Thank you again for your reply. With the temperatures hitting 90 up here in New York, the ebay listings for pea coats are pretty scarce now. There are always the million 38s and 40s available but not much at all of the larger sizes. When does the "pea coat season" start? Is it in...

    Pea Coat Measurement Questions

    Hello Mr. Peacoat, How are you? I'm assuming that you would probably answer these measurement questions since you're the resident "pea coat ambassador " in these here parts. Can you determine the chest size of a pea coat if you know the shoulder to shoulder measurement? I do know how to...

    My new Peacoat

    I bought 6 pea coats this past winter. My wife hasn't said anything about it yet. I didn't get too detailed about them, but I did mention a few times that the WWII one I bought for only $22.00 in excellent shape was quite the bargain. To top it off I think it's a size 44 which I believe is very...

    US Authentic A2 Goatskin?

    Goatskin A-2 I just bought a Cockpit goatskin A-2 few months ago. I needed a 48L so the cost was right over $300. My only concern was that I thought the zipper should have been a little beefier. It has softened up a bit since I've been wearing it. It's a very nice jacket, but does cost a few bucks.

    which pea coat

    Which Pea Coat? The old navy blue Kerseys are the No. 1 Pea Coats. I have both the black and the old blue ones, and the old blue ones are way above the black ones. My '69 Kersey is a size 44L, and it is a tinch larger then my 1995 46L, and my 2001 46XL. I'm looking for another old blue one in...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Vintage Navy Pea Coat Dating Hey Mr. PoohBang, I just bought a 1969 Kersey in size 44L. My other two pea coats are a 1995 Black 46L and a 2001 Black 46XL. The 44L is a tinch bigger then the two 46s (not longer though). I was very surprised by this (although also very happy). I guess the older...
