Pea Coats

[Dozyproductions]

I've been offered a WWII navy pea coat in perfect condition for $100. It has the chin strap, the corduroy is perfect and so is 99% of the coat. What y'all think?

Id say if it looks good on you, do it.

I dont think It'll ever be worth something if that's what youre looking for, i bet they're pretty common.

Cool piece nonetheless

I still have my pea coat from when I was in; definitely got me through Great Lakes boot camp in the middle of winter......anyone who's been/lived there knows how absurdly cold it gets over there.

They're MUCH more comfortable when they are broken in......mine was only really used during boot, so it can still practically stand up by itself.

Post a picture of you wearing it. A Pea coat has a silhouette function for proper wear.

Sure will when it comes through the mail. (its from a mate in another state) I pretty much followed the 'rules' when considering the size so we'll see!


Mopar break that sucker in!

I have something similar but no buttons, only zipper. Same style, but I wear my collar up
