    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I'm guessing the X pattern is stronger? And what color thread should be used? The button thread looks greenish.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I read there was some specific "Z" pattern to sewing on the buttons? One of mine popped when I was wearing a sweater under my peacoat and took a deep breath :eek:.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Should I still opt for a navy watch cap then? I found a nice charcoal one that looks great with my peacoat indoors but have no idea how the outfit will look in sunlight.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    None of the navy ones I've found seem to match well with my 1952 midnight blue peacoat. They each looked much bluer than my peacoat (at least while with store lighting). Would they match once I go outside into the sunlight?

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Thanks. I went to my nearest surplus store and they had these http://www.armynavydeals.com/asp/products_details.asp?SKU=8492&catid=1466. However, they were itchy on my head. Are these generally supposed to be so itchy?
