In high school I wore my dad's WWII Pea Coat, after joining the Navy my boot camp issue Pea Coat felt like a light weight piece of crap compared to my dad's 1943 issue...so I used my dad's.
I have a 1972 made of Kersey wool, and it's far superior to anything Schott has made or will ever make. The best part is that it cost me $128 on eBay, as opposed to Schott charging something like $600.
Ive had my schot for 19 years and ill NEVER throw it away the pockets are about to rip out and it looks like a bold cat 🤣 its gotta be brushed out because the wool is wearing away but i refuse to get rid of it its the warmest coat ive ever had.. and i got it for a Christmas gift in 2002
How old is the Schotts and how does the wool compare to the old Navy coat? I just thrifted a pre-2000s Schott US740N, but I've nothing to compare it to. Also, your voice does not at all match your appearance and it is fucking hilarious 😂
