1950s | US Navy | Wool Pea Coat – Deep Navy - M

Description:

Item: Original 1950s US Navy wool pea coat in deep navy (reads almost black) with classic double-breasted front and wide notched collar. Heavy melton wool shell with vertical hand-warmer pockets and traditional anchor-embossed buttons. Short, functional naval cut that sits at the hip and feels built for real weather.

Era: 1950s

Brand: US Navy issue

Condition: Very good vintage condition with honest wear. Wool remains thick and substantial with no major holes or structural damage; minor surface bobbling, light marks and the odd small nip only, consistent with age and service use. Lining intact and wearable.

Provenance Note: Mid-century US Navy pea coats are the benchmark for the style—dense, wind-resistant wool, robust stitching and a silhouette that has barely changed in a century. 1950s examples like this were produced for cold North Atlantic duty and still outperform most modern high-street outerwear. A foundational piece of military menswear that pairs with everything from denim to tailoring and will likely outlast its next owner.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
