Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740

As an officer candidate, I wore a reefer through Newport's bitter cold.

Now I have a Schott pea coat that seems every bit as stout (read as 'warm') as the reefer that got me through Naval Officer Candidate School without frostbite.

Seriously, this is one well assembled garment. Bravo Zulu (that's Navy for Well Done) to the folks in New York City. Your coat is a work of art.

Obviously you’re probably not going mountain climbing with this coat with today’s technology out there, but, I’ve been wearing this coat on a regular basis in NY throughout this winter and it’s performed well. When I was young I remember my mother looking high and low for a Naval Pea Coat. I never knew why she wanted one so bad and it seemed as though it wouldn’t be too warm in the NY winters. This year I’ve found out why she loved that coat. The temperature here this winter has gotten quite cold (well below freezing) and this coat kept me warm. It blocks out the wind and has the great insulation properties of wool without the itch wool can tend to give. One great thing about wool is that it’s got natural water resistance (not water-proof, but it’ll shed a light rain), but even when wet wool will maintain it’s insulating properties. By flipping the collar up I was able to keep the cold away from my neck and lower face area.

This coat is very comfortable. You order this coat by chest size, which allows the proper fit as opposed to small, medium, large, etc, etc. Not only does this give you a more custom fit, but it also keeps with the military way of sizing dress items. This coat is roomy but not baggy. This also sticks with it’s background of use by the Reefers. One thing that I found nice was that even though the sleeves were a little short I was able to roll the sleeves up toward the inside and they stayed that way. I folded them up about one inch and since I folded them to the inside you couldn’t even tell they’re folded (as you can see in the pictures). This coat also uses a quilted 100% nylon liner to get the wool away from the skin and provide additional comfort, though the wool was not irritating to me. If the thick wool isn’t enough there’s a layer of 100% polyester fiberfill insulation as well.

This coat is great because it has the insulating properties and can be worn in a casual environment but it just as easily worn in a formal environment, where a ski jacket might be out of place.

This pea coat features hand warmer pockets which are perfect in size and placement and keeps with the naval tradition by keeping the Naval style anchor buttons. The length on me comes to about mid thigh and is enough to prevent drafts coming up from the bottom.

Overall I’ve been very impressed by this coat. Traditional and simple in design, yet a design that’s been proven throughout the years.

Best coat I've ever owned. Don't buy the knockoffs. Spend the money to get a Schott, you won't be disappointed. Chicago winter winds whip around buildings, looking for a victim. Ha! NOTHING gets through this coat. Keeps me warm, plus looking good in the process.

Seven (!) years ago I got my first Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat 740. At that time I had just joined the Danish Merchantile Fleet and was sailing around the world with reefer ships and gas tankers.

Last winter was the last period I used this jacket. Though it was getting a little old I could not bare to throw it away. Spring came and I put it away. Just 3 weeks ago the winter really started in Denmark and again I was looking at my old jacket. I could see in the eyes of my girlfriend that she was not very happy with the old jacket.

I got the idea to search the internet for the name of the jacket and very easily found your homepage. I ordered the jacket in the same size and colour, paid with my creditcard and crossed my fingers. Just 6 days after I got the jacket and it was just perfect! Everything was just the same, also the quality! Except that my girlfriend now enjoys to go for a walk with me again.

Thank you very much Schott for this experience! It is nice that not everything changes in the world today. Knowing now where to get excellent service I am sure it wont take 7 seven until I will buy my next jacket.

I am an unusual size in respect to ordering clothing. I am 6'0" but my arm length sleeve length is not the standard. I ordered as instructed with chest measurements and all and added additional 2 inches to order after talking to constumer relations and after receiving my jacket wool jacket I am over joyed with the perfect fit. Sizes are for the average individual. If you are slightly irregular order one to two sizes bigger and you will be happy.

The Style, Quality & Price are on point with this Classic Wool Naval Pea Coat. Shipping was fast and cut is true to size. If your thinking about buying a knock off. Thats what you'll get a "Knock Off" Don't waste your hard earned $ on anything but a proven Classic.

I love this coat. It looks good. Great weight and feel. Looks and feels like it will last a long time. It came a little larger than I anticipated (I wear a 42 suit and the 42 coat feels a bit roomy) but I guess there's room for layers.

Best Pea Coat ever.... It is heavy and I like it. My body think it is summer when I wear it... It is a little pricey though. Schotts has great customer service and i had a good experience. Wish there were some coupons to knock down the price

I am very happy with this purchase.
Delevery was very fast as it took just 3 days to reach my home in Spain.
I like very much the product.
Finish, stile and details shows really good quality.
Very smart and keeps me warm no matter the weather

This is the second peacoat I have purchased from Schott. My first one last for 10 years and could have gone longer, but I gave it away. I love the heavy and firm material on this coat. It is both warm and stylish. I ordered the navy colored one, and it looks the same as my first coat, which was black. They say it's suppose to be that way. That the navy is really is so dark that it looks black, which was a little annoying because I wanted something a little blue, but I am still very happy with my coat.

Awesome coat fits perfectly, well made in the USA. Cant wait for winter so I can proudly wear it

Having owned a number of Schott leather coats, who else would I turn to when it came time to add a classic peacoat to my wardrobe? Seriosuly folks, this peacoat is the best product of it's kind, and I looked at a bunch of them before making my decision. Heavy, well constructed and plenty warm - I have no doubt that with proper care this coat is made to last a long time.

I'm an old fat man who was in the Navy 39 years ago and decided I would start my 2nd childhood by getting myself a Navy peacoat. I ordered one from a competitor using their sizing chart and it didn't fit. I sent it back and exchanged it for a bigger size that should have been a loose fit according to their chart and it was still too small. I gave that peacoat to a distant relative, e- mailed Schott Customer Service my dimensions, and begged for help. Schott responded within a day with their size recommendation, I ordered the Schott peacoat, received it within 4 days and am tickled (bald) pink! The coat is well made, heavy enough for any winter activity, and when I put it on I almost feel 20 years old again! THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT

I have wanted a peacoat for years and this year I thought I would splash out and get one. I searched far and wide for the perfect coat then came across Schott. I had previously had a bomber jacket so I like the brand.
I live in the UK so here is a warning if you are buying in the UK. US sizes are BIG! I measure 46 round the chest, when the coat arrived it was way too big and I had to order a 42 to fit me properly, trust me you will be well out of pocket if you have to send one back! My suggestion is to order what you would in a suit jacket and not by what you actually measure, it will come up a little big but that allows you to wear a jumper underneath (not that you will need to!).
Having now got the perfect size I am very happy with it! Classic and smart, looks great with jeans or trousers and gets worn every day! Easily the warmest coat I have ever had. Cheers Schott!

Was looking for a quality pea coat and happen to stumble across schotts. It was cheaper than a crew or similar brand. I decided to give it a try. I went by the sites direction to measure my chest size. Upon measuring I wasn't sure to go with an exact measurement of 42" or go with a 44" to give myself some room. So I called the service dept. and was told to go exact. I received my coat quickly and couldn't believe the quality. The fit was perfect. My wife and friends love it. I can't wait for the cold weather.
The whole process was too easy. Definitely will use them again.

This is the second of this jacket i've purchased (the first was stolen) and it's just as good as the first. It may never be an authentic, military-issue jacket, but it's pretty much the exact same. Great for New York winters.

I have to say I ma very impressed with the Classic 32 Oz. Melton Wool Naval Pea Coat from Schott N.Y.C.

I live in Dublin, Ireland and it's seems like it's always raining or very windy... or both! This coat keeps me dry and warm. It's the warmest coat I have ever owned.

I am very impressed with quality overall.

I was very impressed with the customer service after the sale as well.

Shipping only took less than 4 days!

15 years ago, through an off chance, I purchased my first Schott leather jacket from a store in Canada. Heavy and warm, it has lasted to this very day and continues to be a part of my wardrobe and wearing well no matter what the weather may be like.

Throughout the years I’ve purchased various garments and coats based upon need and activity. Recently, I relocated to Chicago and found myself without a good, warm coat which did not fall under the style of “winter” or “parka.” Searching through various websites and dealers, I stumbled again by chance on the Schott name and brand. I immediately made the connection and knew that it would be in my best judgment to go with a name that I knew and could trust.

I settled on the classic 740 Naval Pea Coat as I had always loved the style and had a similar one from another brand many years ago. Once I realized that Schott was the supplier of what can be considered an authentic pea coat used by members of the Navy and by seamen around the world, I was confident that I was choosing another quality garment that would last forever.

My coat arrived today and the fit and style are perfect. As I donned it for the first time, I knew that I had made the right choice and that I had once again made a wise investment in a quality garment that could only be provided by a company such as Schott.

I’d like to thank Gayle for her recommendation on sizing and for the level of service that your company provided in general. Between the quick response to my size inquiry, the level of follow up after I made my purchase online, to the fact that I was given free shipping, you can imagine my surprise when I received my order within forty-eight hours! Thank you for being so customer focused and paying such attention to detail. It is reassuring to know that in this day and age, when customer service is the first area to be compromised or overlooked, you have continued to ensure the satisfaction of your customer base.

I am happy to say that I will continue to not only purchase items from you and your dealers, but will be recommending you to everyone I know. Thank you again for filling a need of mine so well and I wish you continued success in the years to come.

Perfect cut and fit. Weight is excellent. This coat is EXACTLY what I have been looking for.

Super coat; true to size; women flock to it and want to feel it, and that just doesn't happen to me. Thank you!

Many designer Pea Coats cost two and three times the Schott Classic. Yet the wool is as light as 14oz, and never over 24oz. To paraphrase the most interesting man in the world, stay warm my friends....

Working in Europe on different locations from London to Moscow, I've learned to appreciate the Schott peacoat as the most comfortable, warm and windtight coat I've ever known, and belive me, I've tried them all, form the NF to special nylon weaves and stuff. Buying my first peacoat in 1997, I still have the actual coat, as I cannot bear parting with the jacket that has seen me through the toughest winters on Russian building sites, and has given me a form of mindcomfort - a piece of clothing that gives you a sense of safety, warmth and familiarity. Be honest - noone keeps a jacket that long - the original '97 coat is still in great condition, even after being through 'the worst'. I love my peacoat!!!! Best piece of clothing...ever. As in EVER.

A well made garment that I'll wear for years to come, plus the benefit of doing business with a personable staff that knows customer service! A hard combination to beat! Many thanks to Gail and her staff!

One thing

It's the best naval pea i've ever seen

and now i've got it

I placed my order on a Tuesday. It was delivered that Friday. The coat is a perfect fit; the material and make are of a superior quality. In short, both product and service were excellent value for money.

I purchased one of these in charcoal back in 1998 and used it daily during the harsh Midwest and Upstate NY winters. No coat I've owned, regardless of material, has been warmer than and has held up to as much abuse as this one. I even got compliments on it this past winter (the person thought it was new)! The only reason I decided to replace it with a new one was because some family members were tired of looking at me wearing the same coat for the past 10 years. After a LOT of shopping around, I ended up buying another one (in navy this time) and am sure I won't regret it!

The pea coat is extraordinary and service more than excellent
