Some time ago, I was looking for a pattern for the detachable throat latch that was a feature of Navy overcoats before & during WWII (including the enlisted peacoat & officer’s bridge coat). These were needed to keep the fold-down collar in the upright position during windy, cold, and rainy...
Vintage Navy pea coat -- dating?
Hi all,
I recently purchased a vintage U.S Navy pea coat, and was curious about its age. Are there any resources that could help me figure this out? The coat's inner markings by themselves don't reveal much of anything. Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I have been reading posting to the Fedora Lounge about Peacoats for about 2 months now. I made an initial purchase of a 1978 Vi-Mil 38S last month. I was quite happy with the coat. It is near flawless in condition inside and out. Just... well, I had this gut feeling that it wasn't...
I recently bought a US Navy Issue peacoat from a thrift shop in NY. It came dirty and requires some tailoring work, yet is one of the coolest coats I have ever seen.

I was thrifting and purchased a peacoat I thought my brother would like. I looked up the label and it's a 1970 Kersey wool Navy Peacoat. This coat has no signs of wear at all, it even has "inspection" tags in the pocket. Were these coats "faked" or is it possible to find a vintage coat like...
