Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

[Peacoat]

Hello Peacoat - Just wanted to throw in my two cents. I have 2 WWII coats. One has no tags. However, it does fit me like a 46. My WWII Coast Guard coat has the inside pocket tag.. This coat fits me just a little bit bigger then my 46 WWII. It is either a 46 or even maybe a 48. They both look just about brand new. I think the Coast Guard coat has a printed tag.

With a printed tag, that should be a post 1943 coat.

You are fortunate in having found two WW II coats in the larger sizes. They are rare indeed.

Forgot to add that my coat has "U. S. Coast Guard" stenciled inside on the back and front right underneath the wearer's name/#, so definitely a USCG coat.

But it has the standard Navy tag? Does it have the Coast Guard emblem embroidered on the right sleeve?

No USCG emblem, but yes, Navy Clothing tag

My CG coat does have a printed CG tag. It doesn't however, have that little embroidered emblem. A few years ago I bought a Kersey coat that had the small emblem on the sleeve . To tell you the truth I can't remember the specifics of that coat but I did resell it as it turned out to be too small and was probably a 44 instead of a 46. I can't remember if it was a CG C. Very coincidentally I'm going to see my brother in law today who was in the CG for many, many years. Will ask him about dems CG coats.

Yes, please do. I would like to see what he remembers about them. Specifics about the tag and the emblem would be helpful.
