It’s very likely Kersey. As I understand it, the Navy began accepting some contracts for Melton coats in ‘74, but they weren’t totally changed over until 1980. So you have very good odds of getting a Kersey.I bought it. From the description it has some signs on collar but it is OK is so hard to find one here in Europe and a size over 40
I hope that it is in Kersry.
This has the same DSA... of this one, almost the same label
And @Peacoat said that it was an easy answer in the next post a 1975 kersey coat. I will upload some pics when it will arrive, thank you
But even on the slight chance that this is Melton, it will still be the heavier weight melton. The Navy, in 1980, switched to the 28oz melton with an insulated liner, and we know the liner on this coat is the older non insulated type, so at the “worst case” scenario you have a really heavy weight melton wool pea coat.
