Vintage US Coast Guard Peacoat
A classic USGI Peacoat labeled as a Coast Guard piece. Though many buttons have been replaced, it has many traits of 40's era coats. With eight front buttons, the double row stich above each cuff, corduroy pockets, and both lapel buttons, the only missing trait is the throat latch. No matter its vintage, a great piece for any collection.
Wool coats like these have been used at sea for centuries. Invented by Dutch sailors and named "pije" coats for the type of wool used to produce them, the British Royal Navy took inspiration from Holland. This resulted in the English word "peacoat," an Anglicization of the Dutch. Both US and British sailors have worn peacoats since the 19th century.
