If you are asking about the CG patch, they are permanent, very permanent.

Oh just saw one on eBay in great shape but has a patch. I can't wear that one as it stands so was curious if it may come off.

Use a permanent sharpie and black it out. It’s about 1”x7/8” and kinda cool looking.

Excellent idea. The cool patch will still be there, but it will be subdued, as were all of my patches and badges when I was in.
Who says Marines aren't creative thinkers?

Couldn't open the page. Will try later. What specifically do you want an opinion on?

Don't get me wrong. I'll still throw on a pair of sneakers with my peacoat, but boots just polish the look. And with a pair of Chukkas, or the Thursdays, you can still cuff your Salvedge.

Looks to be a coveted 1949. Looks to be in nice shape and a reasonable price.
Edit - I didn't look close enough. I missed the no contract number of the 1949.

285038712749 is the item number. I think using your guide I dated it to 1945? Condition looks okay from pic.

Finally got it to open. This is advertised as a "WWII era." It isn't. It is a post war coat, probably barely Post War in 1945.

Yea I was assuming it wasn't war time simply due to the buttons. From pics it looks well cared. Most other coats for sale currently in decent condition are $100+. Anyways thanks for chiming in.

I will be interested in your report on the finish/fabric of your 1949 Jacket score. My 1949 is a bit heavier feeling and the finish is more textured compared with my WWII's which has a stiff, smooth, more refined look and feel. My 1966 also has a more refined texture. So I will wear the more refined jacket with a collared shirt, and the more textured/informal version with a sweater. It is nice to have both. But at the end of the day, the peacoat is one of the most versatile jackets. I am splitting hairs.

Interesting. Will definitely report back. I think this one dates to 1945 considering it has "100% wool ornamentation" and anchors in the corners of tag. I could be wrong though, that's just what I got from the dating guide.
