USN waterproof mackinaw

[Peacoat]

The RN Peacoat is'nt something I know about - are we talking current issue, or WW2?

(Minty)

Either one or both. It hasn't been possible for me to find anyone in the UK who has see one or the other. It is as if they all took a trip to the Devil's Triangle and were never seen again. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, PC.

Not current military issue (I don't think anyways), but made by the company that claims to have introduced Pea Coats to the Royal Navy.
