A pea coat (or pea jacket, pilot jacket) is an outer coat, generally of a navy-colored heavy wool, originally worn by sailors of European navies. Pea coats are characterized by broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, often large wooden or metal buttons, and vertical or slash pockets. Although it first appeared in the early 19th century, modern renditions still maintain the original design and composition. A "bridge coat" is a pea coat that extends to the thighs, and is a uniform exclusively for officers and Chief Petty Officers. The "reefer" is for officers only, and is identical to the basic design but usually has gold buttons and epaulettes. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License wool navy pea coat in the rain? Q. I am told that wool stinks then it becomes wet. I just received a Navy Pea Coat and live in a wet climate. Do I need to do something to the coat to make it waterproof and not stink when wet? Asked by vaslav - Sun Oct 8 16:47:35 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Absolutly not. Those are the coats that hard working sailors wore and still wear. They are made for all weather and wool, good wool, repels water, does not shrink and does not smell unless something smelly gets on it or you never let it dry out. Wear it and hang it in a warm place to dry in between. You may need to wipe it down now and then when you get in from heavy rain or snow to help the drying process. It can be dry cleaned as needed, yearly unless you get it really dirty! One of the greatest pieces of clothing made!

Around $50 would be the ideal price. I am looking for a solid black hooded wool pea coat, preferably double-breasted. Some of the first places I looked (Aeropostale, American Eagle) seem to be out of stock already. Anybody have any suggestions? Asked by amc623 - Sat Jan 30 14:01:33 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I got mine at JC Penney, and it was really cute, and I bet they would have great deals. You should try Kohls as well, and possibly Marshalls or TJ Maxx.
