    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I'm reporting back already. Threw the size 38 peacoat in the dryer along with 5 towels to minimize wear. After just 20 minutes I could tell the wool was softer. I kept it in for just over an hour total and while it's not as soft was my size 40, it's much closer than it was. Will make wearing it...

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I have two peacoats, a mid 60's size 38 and a 1967 size 40. When comparing the two, the 38 must be unworn because it's much stiffer than the 40. The 38 fits much better but it a little awkward due to how stiff it is. How can I break it in? Would putting it in the dryer with no heat work?
