WWI peacoat or similar.

[WolfeMan]

I plan on purchasing another peacoat soon, and rather like the look of the WWI pea coat. However, ive been having trouble locating one, or one like it. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could find one, or one of a similar style. Can't cost an arm and a leg, because i don't have much money.
Thanks, Wolfe.

Have you been checking ebay on a regular basis? This would be a good time of the year to find one on there.

If you are looking for a WWI peacoat, you will be looking for a long, long time. The earliest I have seen is a 1930s peacoat. If you mean WWII, they are scarce, but available. As Ian said, Ebay is a good source, but you need to know what you are doing, and the right questions to ask. Might try Vintage Trends as they sometimes have the WWII. As I remember, you are about a size 38, so that size is readily available. Before you do anything, read my article in the sticky toward the top of this page.

I guess ill probably go for something off vintage trends iff they're that difficult to find. Thanks for your help.

WWI, i like the look of the flap pockets in addition to the slash pockets. I also like the rounder collar.

Yeah, that might be difficult.

WWI pea coats are very rare. If you do find one in decent shape it will cost a few bucks. There are quite a few WWIIs on ebay. I have only seen 1 or 2 WWI coats on ebay in the past year and the prices were high. I haven't seen a WWI on Vintage Trends yet, but they do sometimes have WWII pea coats.
