PEACOAT

Pea coat

A pea coat is an outer coat, generally of a navy-colored heavy wool, originally worn by sailors of European and later American navies. Pea coats are characterized by broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, often large wooden, metal or plastic buttons, and vertical or slash pockets. References to the pea jacket appear in American newspapers at least as early as the 1720s, and modern renditions still maintain the original design and composition.
