Timeless Men's Style - NAVY PEA COAT REVIEW - Classic Winter Outerwear 

I work at the factory that produces the black plastic buttons. In the biz we call them Anchor 50’s. They’re made right here in the good ol’ US of A(because it’s unlawful to make military garments from materials produced outside of the American provinces don’t you know). 3:51

I have a 70yr old, green belgian trench coat, all wool with original brass buttons. One of the warmest coats I own.

I have a navy issue pea coat from the maritime college I went to and it’s the warmest and most comfortable winter coat. Heavy enough to keep you warm and insulated, but not too heavy that you can barely move in it. I could wear a t shirt or sweater mod winter underneath and still be warm with either. Fantastic coat that’s worth the money.

I still have my Navy pea coat that was issued to me in boot camp. I love it, except I never get to wear it because I live in Houston. 😞 But you are right, it's a classic and - if weather permits - never out of style. Puts you in a pipe smoking mood. 🙂 Learning that they stopped issuing this to sailors breaks my heart. Yet another tradition gone.

An intro that will not be ignored and a coat that commands respect. I've covered many a mile, both nautical and otherwise in one and if the winds allow, many more to come.

I will have to be honest this is my favorite Timeless Men's Style. Love the Navy Pea Coat!

I liked the beginning. It makes it personable and reaches the audience- but you knew that.

I initially enlisted in the Navy in 1973; that was a time when the Navy was getting away from the “crackerjack blues” and issuing the “Officer-like”uniforms. I was an “airdale” (P-3 aircrew), so I didn’t lament the problems that seagoing Sailors had in storing the “new” issue uniforms in tight spaces on ships. But I completed my first enlistment, went to college and returned to the Navy as a commissioned Officer. I completed 37 years, total service. A retired O-6 (Captain), I got rid of my commissioned “reefer”……but I still have my Peacoat from 1973. I’ve kept my weight in check and you’re right…that Peacoat really “rocks”….especially with well-fitting denim, a light colored turtleneck….and EVERYTIME I wear it, I feel I’ve earned the right to “aye, mate”!! My two daughters and son….all want it when I pass. They also want my flight jackets (both the leather G2 and my Nomex OD green). I keep telling them “you want one? Earn it and enlist!”. Of course, that goes over like a lead balloon! And if they wait long enough, they’ll get mine when I “cross that last river”. Oh well….Nice review….of an iconic coat with a helluva lot of history behind it! Bravo-Zulu, well done, very well done.

I liked the intro! And the coat. I have a knock-off faux-peacoat that is actually one of my favorite, but I feel a real one in my future! Thanks for all you do, Bradley, and Happy New Year!

Nice, I've seen these before but knew almost nothing about it until watching. Thx for the content and always making this series so informative. Happy holidays to you and yours!

There is a picture of me, somewhere, wearing a pea coat and matching cap, sitting on Santa's lap in 1955. Haven't looked that sharp since. Would love to find another.

Awesome video. You cannot beat wool and if it’s shaped into a peacoat even better.

Navy guy from Spain, I wish I could get my issue peak coat back from 1990!

Looks amazing,Thx for sharing.

Thank you, very informative. I also enjoyed the info you shared months ago on Ray-Bans. Iconic and useful items for sure.

Wonderful and informative video!!!! I will have to take a look for some older models!!!! I’ve got a Sterlingwear of Boston Peacoat, a shame that the US Navy opted not to continue issuing them especially since they have now gone out of business!!!! No idea how old (probably post 1980) mine is but I absolutely love wearing it, it’s a long for the size but I kind of like the longer length!!!! Cheers and pleasant smokes!!!!

Love the intro, love this series!

Those are still quite popular here in Scandinavian Countries and in the Netherlands, meanwhile, as for the undersigned, I personally prefer the Traditional kilt-lined or fur lined Ranch coats so popular all over Rural America and Mexico, Happy Holidays to You Brandley, Paul

Cool coat! I got a modern brown leather one, with some extra pockets. I always called it a double breasted car coat. So it's a Pea Coat then.

I have a Pre WWII peacoat, it’s a 40, and it’s a touch slimmer. This coat HEAVY. 1937 to be exact

I have a peacoat by Ralph Lauren. Got it last year at Macy's. I wear a wool crew neck and scarf with mine. I had been reluctant to buy one because I have seen guys with raggedly looking peacoats. I take care of my clothes.

I’ve always thought a brass button peacoat is about the sharpest thing a person can wear.

As always, thank you for reminding me having been the audience. I'm so forgetful these days.^^ Serious question: is scratchiness an issue? I've read a lot of reviews for modern versions and this came up a lot. And prevented me from bying one because I experienced many a scratchiness with other woolen products. Which is a shame because I totally agree with you in terms of classiness and style! Great video btw!

This is the best peacoat vid on RU-vid

Alarm!!!

Has two slash handwarmer pockets above the waist... That you weren't authorized to use! 🙄😂

Very nice!!! But nice shoes as well! What are them?

Respectfully, it's understandable why the PEA while used as an acronym today as a utility meaning it should be used as, Profection Executed Anywhere. (Omaha Nebraska) (SSBN-739) 🇺🇸🦅😎⚓🍺

Jeremy, I have a bunch of vintage sealed pipe tobacco, Dunhill Elizabethan and Nightcap among others. How do I email you?

Pls whats your cap style called? I like your style

What kind of hat is that. It goes well w the coat

What do you do if it gets wet? With my parka I can just throw it on the heater. Lower maintenance

Bradley I love you!

As cold as a witch's teet 😂

What kind of hat is that? I need that hat please!

Can you wear this type of coat over a suit?

I now have 4 pea coats 40s 1958 1967 1980 i think i have a problem.

A whole generation of us who grew up in the 70's associate this whistled tune with the pea coat: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SHbbV5x3YZc.html
