The vintage Navy Surplus Pea Coat is a slow fashion classic. American Navy surplus Pea coats in amazing condition. These are six button style classics with a strong shoulder line in the classic felted melton wool style fabric in a cool, deep navy blue colour.

There's some discussion over where the name 'Pea Coat' came from. Some say it's from the Dutch word pijjekker or pijjakker which refers to a coat made from a coarse blue fabric. Another theory is that the Pea stands for the initial letter of the 'pilot cloth', a stout, hardy fabric historically used to make warm coats for seafaring men.

Our values and this specific product:

• One off/limited edition
• Natural materials

We have listed these vintage Navy surplus Pea Coat as a size 12 and 14, however the size 12 was shot on our size 10 model and looks fabulous.

The pieces we have in stock are in good condition, still boasting their classic anchor motif buttons and with the sailor's name stencilled inside, however there are signs of age with a few areas of moth nibbles (mostly on the back) as well as some crush marks in the cloth from storage.
