This thread is getting so much easier to read since I started using the block function on everyone who quotes full picture posts without spoilers.

Coincidentally, I had the exact same thought, roughly at the same time I read your comment!

Suit by Sartoria Tofani
Shirt by Lucca, a parisian shirtmaker
Tie by Berg&Berg
PS by Monsieur London

Debate club? I wish there was such a thing where I live/study. I could really use the experience - my argumentative skills, especially orally, are really lacking.

First outing of an Orazio Luciano peacoat made from a gorgeous 24oz Fox Brothers coating.

Been to Rome, so Merry post-x-mass.

Interesting. On first blush I wouldn't think of it as a peacoat - the double breasted buttons on a pea coat are straight and parallel while your top row of buttons look to be slighter wider than the bottom, also your lapels look more reasonable and roll to second row of buttons unlike peacoats that are usually hard-rolled to the top row (and often ridiculously exaggerated too) or a much higher stanced second row. All of that looks to me more like a narrower db config, more like Cucinelli's 1-and-a-half breasted, rather than a pea coat. But I digress, she's a looker!

Definitely a nice coat. I could be off but aren't longer Pea Coats called Reefer coats?

The way I was understand it a reefer jacket and a pea coat are the same. Somewhere between a pea coat and a traditional naval overcoat / greatcoat / officers / guards style coat is named a bridge coat.

In the 18th Century, Midshipmen were sometimes called "reefers" (which some might consider better than being called a "snotty") and the coats they wore were sometimes called "reefer coats". (See the book "Rattlin, The Reefer", for an example.)

In the 18th Century, pilots wore jackets called "pilot coats", sometimes shortened to "p coats". (See several of Captain Marryat's books for examples.)

Somehow, over the years, p coats have become peacoats (although they have nothing to do with peas) and are now worn not just by pilots as a mark of their office, but by all sorts of people, both at sea and far from the sea.

In the 18th Century, reefer coats were shorter than pilot coats.

I've also read about a Dutch connection with the P being Pij. Funny how legends can have so many roots.
