A couple of years ago I geeked out on WWII pea coats. I wanted one really badly and not just any coat, one as like-new as possible. So after scouring eBay daily for an entire winter, I ended up with a few just-about-perfect coats. I'm anal "detail-oriented", so for each promising listing I sent a set of detailed questions. I even sent some coats back because the condition didn't match the answers.
All ended up being a little big for me and they should be worn by someone!
Vintage WWII US Navy Peacoat
Approx. Size 38-40
Satin lining
Measurements:
Chest (pit-to-pit): 21.5"
Shoulders (seam-to-seam across back): 19.5"
Length (base of collar to hem): 31.5"
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 25.5"
Sleeve (center back to cuff): 35.5"
Condition:
Excellent with extremely light wear. As in near-mint/almost new. Kersey wool shell is in fantastic shape - no moth damage, no holes, no stains, it looks essentially new. Satin lining is in excellent shape with only light wear and no holes or stains. Original size tag in neck and name tag in chest are both missing. All buttons and the neck strap are present. The corduroy pockets are fantastic - once you feel them, you'll want to corduroy pockets in everything!
