Vintage Original 1949 USN Peacoat rare size 46

Catch and release!

I recently bought this Navy peacoat which is sadly a size too big for me.

It is dated at 1949 from the label, pocket lining and buttons etc, according to @Peacoat fantastic thread. This is in remarkable condition as can be seen in the photos. There is virtually no wear anywhere on this coat with just a couple of minor nibbles by the moths on one sleeve (pictured). Otherwise it looks unworn with the Kersey wool and lining pretty much unmarked. When I unpacked it, I was sure I had got a repro rather than a 70 year old original.

Measurements (approx):
Pit to pit ~24"
Shoulder to cuff ~25 3/4"
Shoulder to shoulder ~19 3/4"
Base of collar to hem ~34"

This ships from the UK, international shipping is possible but at 2.5kg will be a bit more expensive.

£200 shipped in the UK with Paypal F&F, contact me for international shipping prices.

 

I'd also trade this for a size 44 original or towards a Buzz or RMC repro.

 

bump and drop to £180 shipped in the UK. Add about £20-35 for worldwide shipping, probably, depending on destination
