It does have a tag. I will try to get pictures of it uploaded within the next couple of a days.

I know. I can't seem to help myself. And these last two I got cheap and both are mint. I guess this is just the time now to try to get them at a cheap price.

Thanks for the information. I don't know how I got so lucky getting this coat at such a low price. And it is MINT. As soon as I get some pictures taken of it and uploaded on photobucket I will post some. I'm going to hold onto this one. Dakota

I just won this ebay auction the other day (item # 250098364361) for a 1967 United States Navy peacoat. It is MINT. The pockets are white corduroy lined. They are not dirty at all. I don't think this coat was ever worn. There is no stenciling on the liner. There is some writing on the tag...

If I decide to let it go, I'll definitely let you know.

I saw it too. Wonder what the condition is?

I just won an ebay auction for an 8 button Navy peacoat with the corduroy pockets. The auction number is: 300095337140. I received the coat yesterday and it is as close to mint as you can get one. I don't even think it was issued because there is no writing on the label and no one's name is...

I asked the seller about the buttons. He said they look original to the coat. He said the thread used to sew them on is very old looking. He said based on what the family who owned the coat told him about it and along with the other WWI military clothing and items they had, he fully believes the...

The seller told me that he got it from an estate sale and the owners verified that it was from WWI. It belonged to a great uncle or a great great uncle, something like that. He said they also had lots of other WWI military collectibles. The buttons on it too are from the WWI era. I asked the...

WWI pea coat Take a look at this WWI pea coat that some one has listed on ebay. The item # is 280092569449. It looks to definitely be from WWI. It has the 10 buttons on the front with the anchor in the middle and the 13 stars around the anchor. It also has the neck strap underneath the collar...

I have a WWII Coast Guard peacoat that has that type of lining; it's not the shiny type like on other WWII or older peacoats. But the wool is more smooth. Strange indeed. Do you have a picture of the label? Could be that over time, and with improper cleaning methods, the wool degraded to...

I have a Sterlingwear peacoat that is 100% wool. It is actual military issue. I think from the DLA # the date is either 88 or 90. I don't have it in front of me at the moment but I will look later. I purchased it new from someone in the Navy. It is a very nice coat and warm too. It has 3 buttons...

I've been enjoying reading all of this information on the peacoats. It is quite educational. I collect them too. Dakota

What is the condition of the coat? You could resale it on ebay.

I was thinking about bidding on that coat too. Please post some pics of it when you receive it.
