    Please Help Me Date a Peacoat (that might be phony)

    @AndrewT For some reason I just saw this. First of all, US Navy peacoats were all dark blue. Secondly, this label isn't the label from a US Navy peacoat. I wouldn't call this a "phony," but is more accurately a civilian copy of a Navy peacoat.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Good video. She makes the point to use button thread rather than regular thread, and she shows the correct way to make a shank. I have added this video to the Important Links thread at the top of the Outerwear Section.

    WW2 Uniform

    Army and AF were the same until 1948. This appears to be a WWII photograph. If so, it is US Army uniform.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Yes, I use backing buttons. I think the thread I use is a nylon thread. It is hardier than the cotton thread.

    Leather Jacket Collar Gap

    I have a lot of experience with leather jackets–I have 15 of them–and I don't see the problem with your jacket. If you want it to look like the picture in the website, wear a shirt with a collar as the model in the picture is doing. That takes up a lot of space between the collar and the neck...
