I wore the same navy pea coat for fifteen years and only recently "upgraded" to a new jacket. Little did I realise that the manufacturers of retail clothing do not make clothes to the same standard as they did a decade ago. 😢
@RAWDEAL064 It looks that way. I'd say twenty years ago, you could go to a retailer and pay a little extra for something quite special. Nowadays, it's "fast fashion" (AKA crap) or something niche that'll set you back.
I just found an old Pea Coat at an antique shop. Super heavy and well made, probably 32 ounces. $56.00, love it. Then again, everything older is made better, like tools.
Not only does wool still feel dry when it gets wet, it is the only natural material that still retains its WARMTH when wet. I wear wool socks and wool sweaters over moisture wicking tees when outdoors for this reason. I spent 20 years in the Air Force, but bought a Navy peacoat for this reason (I outgrew it when I retired, so your point about the cut is spot on).
The basis for the Steve McQueen is the pea coat. Turtleneck, dark jeans and boots. Great for when you don't want to have to coordinate a winter outfit.
Fun fact: The Dutch Navy issues two different pea coats! The pijjekker (as we call them) comes in two forms: for men of lower ranks and/or less than 6 years of service you get what you would call the standard pea coat. For higher ranked individuals or sailors with at least 6 years of service, you'll get one that actually extends below the knee! Don't know why this is, but this is still a thing. Source: the actual uniform instructions of the Dutch Navy (in Dutch of course). I actually own a long pijjekker myself, which I got for really cheap second-hand! I love how it keeps me warm and protects me from the changeable conditions here! Greetings from the Netherlands!
I've worn Pea coats for years; perfect for winter in Chicago. I also have a Bridge Coat. I switched out the gilt anchor buttons for metal buttons which look like old coins. I wear it with suits in the winter.
I have done this as well. Both coats are by Schott Bros. Well made, excellent fit and style plus surprisingly good range of motion as well. Oh yeah, both get noticed.
I recently had to purchase a coat for an upcoming vacation. The coat I purchased I thought it was a peacoat but it was a blue overcoat (just above the knee and only one set of buttons). I didn't know the difference until I was researching and came across an older video of yours. I was able to dress the overcoat up and wear it for casual wear in NYC with colder temperatures.
Bought my navy Pea Coat from Private White VC in Manchester UK, the quality and aesthetic are second to none imo, and the history of the brand just adds to the class.
I have an official US Navy P-Coat size 50. The material is almost twice the thickness of a 'modern' one and it is about 4 times more expensive. Love it!!
I picked up a vintage US officer's (I think as it has the ?pewter? buttons) pea coat online years ago. It is soooo heavy even compared to other military coats in my wardrobe. It is actually so good at retaining my body heat with just a dress shirt and a t-shirt underneath its too warm to wear unless it is below 30dg with wind. And as an occasional pipe smoker I love how the US Navy took the time to design and place a dedicated pocket on the inside just for a pipe and tobacco pouch.
For some reason I prefer the long overcoat style. The pea coat looks like a blouse to me ? I like the Peaky Blinders style coats with peaked lapels, colored liners, and layered over a suit jacket.
I think it also depends on how you travel. As I ride the bike a lot, I noticed that the longer overcoat, especially the double-breasted, stays on the thighs, thus protecting them from wind and also snow and rain and thus keeping the pants dry. Something a shorter coat or jacket couldn't do. The same goes if you use public transport and have to wait in the cold, then the extra length gives extra warmth to the legs. If you have a car and mostly walk to and from the car to your destination, then a longer coat might be more of a hassle than help. In my experience, it's quite hard to get a coat at knee length, especially if you are looking for quality.
I have a Reefer jacket from the early 70’s in dark navy. It’s 100% wool & has a quilted lining inside. As a nice touch it also has black buttons with an anchor engraved on them. It was my dads & it’s still like new being 50 odd years old.
I remember the first time I was handed my pea coat as I enlisted, was that 'this thing is never going to see rank insignia'. That was a good choice, I still wear it today.
i have the short version of it. In a special blue tone, its looks very nice , when it is not so bright outside, it looks black with a blue glow. The blue is slightly greenish.
i bought a pea coat that fits me like a glove back in 2009. looks exactly as great today as it did the day i bought it. i hope to have it for the rest of my life.
Many years ago I saw a movie with Robert Redford, The Three Days of the Condor, in which he wore a "peacoat". Since then I have wanted such a coat, but I didn't find out what it was until recently, when I re-watched the movie. Now I bought one and I am very happy (but it's not for winter).
I have my uncle's vintage USN peacoat. It looks like the one posted @4:35, complete with the silver buttons. I wear it during cold and wet weather conditions since it works so well. And yes, I've gotten compliments on it. Overall an excellent and informative video. 😎👍
I own and love my Noble House Kaleu 1:1 copy in leather - and I normally don't like leather... It's the one "coat" I wear that doesn't go over the knee. (But I feel it fills a rather substantially different niche than the trench-coat which is more of a mixture of a light foul weather coat and a gloriefied raincoat - nothing wrong with that, I own several among them a much beloved early 90s Burberry's [yes, *that* old] but I wear them in autumn and spring) Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
Not tempted - despite it having some Royal Navy history in it. I'm happy with my Trench coat and my next purchase will be a 'British Warm'. Interesting video.
I have both a US Navy peacoat and an N1 deck jacket. I love these jackets so much that I rarely wear any of my other jackets. That is the civilian jackets.
Pea coats are the only way to go. I've gotten multiple, and even spares at my parents and girlfriend's to avoid carrying them when doing airport trips; they just bring it in the car.
The problem with the pea coat is its weight. Mine weights about 3 pounds, which makes impractical to travel with it. And I very rarely wear it in Brazil, only in the coldest winters.
I love this channel, amazing content, though I did want to mention: I’m about 98% sure the navy peacoat shown in the thumbnail is buttoned incorrectly. Right?
I own three of varying length and wool weight. One of course being my Navy issued pea coat from my time in service, so its pretty obvious which origin story I believe lol
I'd much rather have a double -breasted full length overcoat (which I have, that is over 20 years old and will need replacing soon.....but very few places seem to made decent ones anymore).
I would just ask whether the pea coat does the same job as a trench coat? A pea coat, or similar (I prefer a sheepskin coat) does well in cold weather but clearly doesn’t perform as well in wet weather as a trench coat. I think a pea coat is more informal (difficult to wear a suit underneath) and, I’m not sure jeans and a trench coat are a match made in heaven I would argue that you need something in both categories. If you can only afford one, I d go with a trench coat as I can wear layers underneath.
Bough black aviator jacket with black flap cat and it fit very great. Turning 30 tomorrow. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is a choice. Some jackets like trench coat you need to be at least 6"0 I believe. Otherwise you are just lost in there.
I got a very warm and elegant pea coat from Schott NYC. Sometimes I feel way too elegant wearing it. Should I just wear it even if it’s not that cold? Like 10 degrees Celsius?
Question 🙋♂️ What is your view on Walking Sticks / Canes as far as Fashionable ? I particularly like Derby Handles right now and it seems to resonate with the ladies so I bought 2 canes Gold and a Silver
Do you think the peacoat (επενδύτης) of the Greek navy is a good choice for less than 100 euros? My only consideration is the thing that it's only 50% wool and 50% synthetics. Please tell me you opinion and ideas. Cheers, Nick
I have a Navy peacoat in 100% wool that’s really thick. I love it, but as it’s really heavy duty and have slightly padded shoulders so it’s huge. I am also big, 6’4” with broad shoulders. So wearing the peacoat I look gigantic and slightly top heavy. Should I try to find a thinner more fitted modern peacoat, or just rock the look and enjoy the coat?
Trenchcoats are only a waterproof light outer layer. Sounds like what you need is a Great Coat of wool with a scarf and a hat. That's what I wore this morning in South Dakota
So it's a us navy version when it was first documented over 50 years before US gained independence hence 50 year before us navy ithmmmm stretching it there I think
This garment = cold and/or wet legs and private parts. Over the knee coat is superior unless you're riding a horse or performing other activities... Also a long coat streches your silouhette in a good way...

They do, you just have to search more, and you're going to pay an outrageous cost

What a classic. Style over fashion every time. Wish I still had my Navy-issue pea-coat.

Sounds similar to what in England was called a British Warm.
Bought my navy Pea Coat from Private White VC in Manchester UK, the quality and aesthetic are second to none imo, and the history of the brand just adds to the class.
You should own both.
A great coat and a great look. They can be quite affordable as well. Mine only cost me 20 years. 😉
😂😂😂😂
What do you mean?

When I was in the Navy, they gave us the traditional pea coats. I still have mine in my closet. I need to try it on to see if it still fits....lol.

@@Kujirakira I agree. I feel like you have more ability to druss up or down an overcoat
If you are skinny/slim the peacoat makes You look chunky.

@@durandus676 the overcoat I have is my only nice jacket. I also have a thick chest so I'll have to keep that in mind when I buy another nice jacket.

I got myself a peacoat last year and it’s now my new favorite jacket.
Both, Trench and Pea coats, are great.
I've got like three pieces of each and they serve outstandingly well in a variety of situations.
Don't forget pairing it with a heavy turtleneck sweater for the ultimate in warmth.

It’s my favorite coat of all time. I just got one for Christmas!! I’ve been asking for one for about five years. Love your contact.

Just bought an authentic US Navy peacoat off of eBay. Love it!
My fav winter jacket!
Peacoat is one of the best items I recently bought. It literally elevates your style to next level

I bought a Bridge Coat from Private White VC ..expensive , but worth every penny.
Great coat, just picked up the Billy Reid peacoat
love peacoats. I have two. one in navy and another in black
The sailor in me Loooioves a good Pea Coat. Mine is a Navy blue with black buttons. Such a versatile piece of clothing.
I own and love my Noble House Kaleu 1:1 copy in leather - and I normally don't like leather... It's the one "coat" I wear that doesn't go over the knee.

Paladin checking in. Thank you for the video!
Feeling nostalgic, need to dig up my old pea coat from my active duty days. Came in clutch on new years eve in Manhattan
pea coat is my go to when I am working (business casual)
I have my eye on one from triple aught designs but it will be the most I’ve spent on a jacket and I haven’t talked myself into yet.😂
Not tempted - despite it having some Royal Navy history in it. I'm happy with my Trench coat and my next purchase will be a 'British Warm'.
Interesting video.
This style works really well in a heavy leather, U boat commander type format.
I got my copy from Old Navy a long time ago. It has been very durable.
I have both a US Navy peacoat and an N1 deck jacket. I love these jackets so much that I rarely wear any of my other jackets. That is the civilian jackets.
The peacoat was in fashion in the UK about 5 years ago...but if you store fat on the stomach area like I do...they look terrible
Hey! Love this coat I have a polo coat myself and a peacoat (I prefer the polo on the colder weather)
Pea coats are the only way to go. I've gotten multiple, and even spares at my parents and girlfriend's to avoid carrying them when doing airport trips; they just bring it in the car.
A trench coat is better to wear over a suit or sports coat. The peacoat is great over a turtleneck. They are really two different use items.
Don’t tell me what to do
i’m buying the trench coat regardless
buying 2 just because of this video
😂
Great information. Now do the N1 deck jacket 👍🏼
Nothing wrong with a good pea coat, but a pea coat no substitute for a good trench coat.
Nah. Pea coat better.
The problem with the pea coat is its weight. Mine weights about 3 pounds, which makes impractical to travel with it. And I very rarely wear it in Brazil, only in the coldest winters.

How do you put out so many quality videos so fast?!
What about alternatives for bigger people?
I know they are trying to reduce the size of the sea bag but the pea coat and bridge jacket need to be issued again.
can you suggest a where to buy a good pea coat?
Any recommendations on brands to find a good peacoat?
Peacoats are awesome. I really like them.

I typically wear a trench because my nation is very cold, wet and windy and a peacoat doesn't protect my legs from the elements.
