Measurements (in inches) are my best conscientious effort with a measuring tape.
[chest=pit to pit & doubled; shoulder=seam to seam across back; sleeve=shoulder seam down to end of cuff; length=bottom of collar down to jacket end]
USN issue wool peacoat
Kersey Blue 44R
Double breasted; Seven fouled anchor buttons (four to button); thick 100% melton wool with heavy cotton pocket liners; full lining; extended stand-up collar; single vent
chest: 46 shoulder: 20 sleeves: 26 Length: 33 3/4
If you want a genuine peacoat in blue that's 100% wool, you won't be able to get it from Schott or Sterlingwear. Starting sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s, the Navy stopped issuing Kersey blue (akin to midnight blue) coats and switched to black. They also switched to a wool/nylon blend fabric with a poly liner.
This coat is in very good condition for its age with only a very few minor shiny spots and moth bites. The buttons are sewn on tight and strong.
I own two Kersey peacoats and I love them. They shrug off snow and rain and block out chill winds. Give them a once over with a Kent brush and they glow.
Kersey coats were made in the era before poly fill lining, so the 100% wool melton had to be very substantial to keep the wearer warm. THIS PEACOAT IS HEAVY, almost 6 pounds! This is not the flimsy crap you find at BR or the Gap. This coat has deep thick cotton lined pockets that keep your hands nice and toasty. It is amazing how something so outwardly soft and comfortable can be so hard wearing and durable.
