US Navy style Pea Coat
This is the classic pilot's coat (pilot=ship's navigator, not aviator), aka Reefer Jacket adopted by the US Navy and still in use today!
This double breasted Pea Coat has all the great features of the US Military version, including a vent back, nylon quilted lining,
and two large hand warmer pockets.
These double-breasted worsted wool overcoats began to be used by US Navy in the early 20th century.
Today the style is considered a classic, and peacoats are now worn by all manner of individuals not just professional sailors. An officer's version of the coat, known as a reefer is similar except the plastic buttons are replaced by gold-coloured metal uniform buttons, and shoulder epaulets are sewn in for the acceptance of slide-on rank insignia. The 'bridge coat,' resembles the pea coat in basic layout, except that the jacket is longer in length, reaching down halfway to the thighs, is worn by chief petty officer and officer.
