    I have a WWII-era USN peacoat as well. It's 70 years old and looks like I bought it yesterday. Good stuff.

          Have the same exact coat. That one really does look like new condition! It is a perfect fit on you too. Very nice, thanks for sharing it! 🙂

          I believe it has a silk liner in it too no?

                Thanks! It's hard to imagine that I'm wearing the same coat that a US Navy sailor wore in WWII. His name is still stenciled in the liner.

                  Love this liner… These old pea coats are real treasures.


                  Anyone know how to take out a paint stain from wool?

                        Saw this great condition looking WWII USN pea coat on eBay, the auction doesn't end until Monday night - it's now out of my price range but thought some of you guys might be interested.

                        http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vtg-US-Navy-Pea-Coat-WW2-Reefer-Jacket-1940s-USN-Pea-Coat-WW2-Sz-Large-Clean-/231124130875

                        The bidding looks a bit iffy to me though - either people are stupid or they've got a mate upping the bid for them.

                          Got a new jacket… it’s a 1963 sateen field jacket model OG 107. Man is it nice! The quality of the construction is impressive, all super fine long fiber cotton woven really tight. The attention to detail is excellent… overall it’s one of the great military jackets out there. This thing just glows in the sun too! 😉

                            While that appears to be nice, it's a pea coat and those are officer uniform prices. I could likely get one for a third of that with a bit of patience.

                              Someone tall slim guy should cop these original NOS sateen cargos I just found on ebay…
                              Waist 27-31 inches. Length is 36 inches.

                              Note: These are the good ones 🙂

                              Edit: bidding just ended, but seller might repost…

                                USAF Aramid flyer jackets are pretty nice… fire-resistant, durable, and breather surprisingly well for synthetic material. Got this one not too long ago…

                                    Thanks Cutlasshound! 🙂 Just found out its also super windproof and perfect for layering over the IHSW-10 sweatshirt. Love how flyer’s gear is so perfect for bikes…

                                      Great alternative to the cpo shirt! Was after a cpo shirt and came across the Korean field shirts which are a fraction of the price. Olive drab material that is 85% wool and 15% wool and is not scratchy and very warm. Great details in the fit too, especially the shoulders. Bargain for fifteen quid. Unissued and apparently from the fifties. I'm a 42" chest and this is a medium. Can't quite do it up but fits perfectly on the shoulders! The large fits ups to a 45" chest!
