So yeah, I'm looking for a WWI era Navy peacoat. Close to size 38. In good clean shape. Thanks.

What's your budget?

 

[freakazoid]

I'm willing to spend some money if it's reasonable. I haven't ever seen any for sale so I'm not to sure what the normal price for them is.

If you find one please post a photo! I'm dying to have photographic reference since I have one of my cartoon characters wearing a 1916 era peacoat. Want to get the specs right!

Last I saw went for over a thousand.

Adam, here's what they look like.

Woah. More than I thought they would go for. Worth it.

I'm not 100% certain it's WWI era, but it definitely pre-1946 and shares it's features with coats of the era. It's a size 36 but figure I share it anyway.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately that is not WWI issue. What makes WWI issue very unique is the second set of pockets and the buttons with 13 stars around the anchor.

And actually if the peacoats are normally around a thousand bucks I'm going to have to put a hold on getting one, for now. Probably in a month or two I'll be looking again. So if someone happens to have one they are willing to part with I will definitely be interested at a future date.
In the mean time I have a WW2 issue that should get here in a day or two that I had ordered from Vintage Trends. Woohoo!

I don't know if in the meantime your budget has increased; anyway:

I guess it could be interesting for the peacoat fetishists outside there, because of the super detailed photo set.
What a piece. I can hear Mr.Peacoat's drool dripping from here.
