My search for peacoat began like this. I wanted a coat\jacket for Canadian winter. I didnt wanted to wear puffer and down jacket as they look ugly in my opinion. Asked a fellow Canadian who pointed me towards B7 parkas. But B7 are too costly for me. So started finding alternatives. I knew only...

The ebay seller had listed the coat as navy colour. So hopefully its blue(kersey). It even looks blue to me(i might be wrong). I am getting it for 70$ shipped.

So you mean that if its blue than it will be kersey and if its black it will be melton? Also does the coat looks genuine to you?

I am confused as the peacoat guide said that melton wool was used after 1980. And any melton wool use in the 70s had that mentioned on the tag.

I guess the guy you are referring to goes by the username of "Peacoat". I have sent him a pm too. Hope he replies soon.

I found this 70s vintage peacoat(1974) manufactured by VI-MIL with the pewter buttons on eBay. I wanted to know if this peacoat is genuine also I would appreciate it if anyone could help me identify if the wool used is kersey or melton? https://www.ebay.com/itm/353291873352
