Congrats, you now own a piece of history- an iconic one at that. Yours looks great and you picked it up in a hard to find size. The 10 button coats (8 showing) are WWII…there’s a great a peacoat dating thread on here:

I'm selling a near mint like new Kersey Peacoat on ebay. Buy it now price is $150 which is not much more than I paid for it, but will take offers from fellow Lounge members. I sought this one out specifically because it looked like it had never been worn. The wool looks and feels new/never...
This is indeed strange. I literally bought this from the exact same seller for $68. It was in great condition, but it was just a tad too big for my preferences. I thought the older 6-button coats might fit closer to the WWII versions, but they’re pretty consistent with the 60’s Kersey coats.
Just picked this one up. Couldn’t resist, looks like it was never worn.

On the other hand, I had one that had some moth damage as well and when I showed it to the seller he gladly refunded me for the coat less the shipping and let me keep it. He apologized profusely and said he hadn't noticed because the coat had hair all over it. So I ended up with a nice warm coat...
I 100% agree. I had the same situation happen to me on a 1949 coat I went after. The pictures weren't the best, but the seller listed the coat "clean wool, no moth holes". When I received the coat it was covered in hair and actually had dead moths under the collar. The thing was covered in moth...
I actually bought this exact coat a few weeks ago, but returned it because the sizing was off for me. It is in excellent condition. I paid $68 for it which I thought was a steal.
Thought I'd show off my WWII 38 with the size tag intact. This one looks like true NOS. I basically stole it at $65 plus shipping and now it's ruined me!
That was a nice looking coat. I pondered on that one. I don't know why, but I don't feel so bad about passing on some of these when I know people on here are getting them instead lol. I know they'll be taken care of and worn!
I have to finally jump in and take a dive into this thread. Man, what an awesome forum and source of information I have found on here. I have finally made it through the entire thread and I just want to say thanks to everyone that's contributed…especially Peacoat. I thought I'd share my...
