    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Making my first attempt at replacing buttons. Any tips? I bought some strong waxed thread and watched a few videos. Be assured I'll still botch it. If so I'll take to my tailor.

    I've worked it out to be a size 36, I just don't think this style is flattering on me. Lovely though

    Might grab some macro shots of the wool later. Only have the one coat from 1945 to compare but it's definitely lighter and smoother wool.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    The 1966 coat that I have definitely feels different from the 1945. Slightly thicker, bluer blue, and it's a different hand feel for sure. If that's what the 1949 coat feels like I wonder if they had a transition. Curious about a 1950s coat.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Received this in today. I was shocked with the state of the wool. Literally not a mark on it whether by moth or dirt. Every coat I've bought up until now has had at least a little mark. Unfortunately it's too big so I'll probably sell it in my aim to buy a 1949 coat in a 34 (which Is...

    Is it possible to distinguish a 1949 coat without a tag? Color corduroy? Size of tag?

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I went out and got a bunch of moth prevention stuff for the coats. I am curious as I'm sure someone here has dealt with it but is there any method of repair for moth damage? Most coats I see have a least a few moth surface damage, just looks like the top pile gets skimmed off. I'm guess...

    I think even the 60s jacket you can button on both sides. On this particular jacket it appears if you button it from the right the buttons will literally be side by side with no gap between.

    Looks like someone bought it anyway but interested why it appears the buttons on the left side are right next to the button holes.

    Is it just me or do the buttons look funny on this thing. Could just be the way the photo was taken.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    So this is a proper WWII coat I suppose? Chap listed in as a women's jacket which is clearly wrong. No indication of size on it.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Idk if it's just me but after comparing all the intricacys of the 1945 coat vs the 1966 coat I think the 1945 is more refined in feels but thinner in material. The 1966 coat seems a bit thicker, chunkier, and more bulbous. Not sure if this makes a difference in warmth. Also noticed the 1966...

    Wow! Is that how much the 8 buttons go for or is this person out of their mind?

    Good deal. I'll probably take it for one initial dry cleaning and call it there.
