This is a pre 1968 peacoat which will have the midnight blue Kersey wool.Hi all
Probably the wrong time of year to be buying a Peacoat as it'll soon get warmer but I took a punt on one yesturday anyway but it had no tag inside.
Having read through @Peacoat fantastic article/info on how to date them I was just wanting to get a little clarification really as I think the one I bought may have been listed incorrectly (possibly good for me).
Am I right in thinking that if a peacoat has cord pockets it would be blue and not black and more likely to be Kersey wool due to the date cord pockets were replaced and the Melton wool introduced?
I'll link the listing bellow in case its any help, I did speak to the seller and the one pictured is the one for sale, even with those pictures it looks a little blue to me tbh.
