Hello everyone,

I am actively hunting for an authentic, military-issued USN Peacoat in a true Size 46 Long. I am strictly looking for the mid-century models, not the later 1970s or 1980s lighter wool blends.

Specifically, I need a coat that features:

  • The heavy 32 oz Kersey Wool
  • Golden/tan corduroy-lined handwarmer pockets
  • "Naval Clothing Depot" or "Naval Clothing Factory" tags intact
  • Standard black anchor buttons (No gold or brass officer/Bridge Coat buttons, please)
Target Measurements (Approximate):

  • Pit-to-Pit: ~24 inches (61 cm)
  • Shoulders: ~21 inches (53 cm)
  • Sleeve (Shoulder seam to cuff): Minimum 27 inches (68.6 cm)
I am 1.90m (roughly 6'3") tall, so the "Long" designation and that minimum 27-inch sleeve length are absolutely critical to ensure it fits properly without riding up.

I am located in Norresundby, Denmark. I highly appreciate the timeless craftsmanship of this specific era and am more than happy to pay a premium for a coat in excellent condition (no major moth bites, tears, or missing buttons). I will fully cover the international shipping and tracking costs.

If you have one in your collection that isn't getting enough wear, please shoot me a PM with measurements and your asking price.

Thanks in advance for your time!
