This is a 1945 tag. I believe 1949 can be identified by a service contact being added to this tag. Peacoats dating guide is very in depth on how to identify these coats.
Best lighting I could find. Just a pic of them side by side. 1966 coat on the right, 1945 on the left. Slight handfeel difference between the two but hardly noticable. I'm listing the 1966 for sale on ebay in a few days so I want to compare as much as possible.
Could just be my terrible eyes but it looks black to me. I've been looking at peacoats for months thanks to this group lol so I'd like to think I have my eye in.
Interesting. Will definitely report back. I think this one dates to 1945 considering it has "100% wool ornamentation" and anchors in the corners of tag. I could be wrong though, that's just what I got from the dating guide.
Yea I was assuming it wasn't war time simply due to the buttons. From pics it looks well cared. Most other coats for sale currently in decent condition are $100+. Anyways thanks for chiming in.
