stingman1 said:I'm new hear and I know this has been discussed in the past, but can anyone tell me how to get an actual USN peacoat? I know that Sterlingwear makes the current issue coats...and that they make a commercial version called the Authentic that they say is the closest thing to the issue coats that is offered commercially...but I would love to get an actual issue peacoat. There was a thread here a few years ago in which Peacoat (the member) seemed to have an extensive knowledge of these...so, hopefully he can answer this.
Thanks.
No offense, but you are in NYC. The open air flea markets have lots of peacoats and I have found a number of excellent G-1s there too. Just go for a walk on a Saturday and I am sure you'll find one.
Also, there is a good surplus store down around Houston Street if I remember correctly, and there is always the "retro" store on Broadway. High prices, but they are there.
