The Pea Coat

A sure and reliable form of winter clothing, the pea coat (or the pilot jacket) takes the cake as one of the most popular and fashionable outer coats that you could wear in the season. Its origin dates from military roots as it was initially worn by European sailors and later US Navy members. Usually, the coat is composed of heavy wool and nylon, it is typically short, hemmed with vertical or slash pockets, and is always double-breasted. For increased warmth, flip up the lapel and button all the way to the top in order to prevent incoming winter drafts. The pea coat that we offer in-store is made from the Alpha Industries, a reliable brand in vintage jackets, parkas, and field coats.
