Leather Naval Pea Coat

I purchased this coat over as year ago and can honestly say it is the best I have ever owned! I searched a long time to find a heavy double breasted heavy cow hide coat and finally stumbled onto Schott. I own many leather jackets and coats but Schott makes the best! The coat is made using the highest quality leather and standards and will easily last a lifetime.
Gail in customer service is fantastic, she can guide you through any questions or concerns you may have and there is no waiting period oh her reply. Shipping is also extremely fast and if you need an exchange or refund this is also worry free. If by chance there is a backorder list I can assure you that it is well worth the wait. I am in the process of ordering two different leather coats from Schott and can honestly encourage you to place an order for your own!

The Absolute Apex of leather jackets. After experiencing my first harsh Seattle winter after moving from sunny California in 1991, I knew I needed a heavy duty, no effing around solid jacket. I put the jacket on, and you could feel the quality from the weight and the quality of stitching. I've built a home, career, and family here in those 25 years and that Schott Pea Coat had been there every step of the way. The crazy thing is besides sewing up a hole in the pocket 4 years ago it still looks practically new! If.you hung it in a shop, I would guarantee you would get full retail out of it. Classic looks- every Girlfriend, roommate, or good buddy ive ever had has "Borrowed" this jacket at one time or another but it always comes back because everyone knows "That's Martin's Coat"

Excellent. Military styling ! Quality is the best I have ever owned ! Schott , your products are all top of the line. Again your quality and styling are impeccable ! Love your product line !

This is easily the best coat I have ever owned. Durable but beautifully crafted. Incredibly warm and versatile. Good from about 50 F to well below freezing. When Its warmer, I let it hang open. As the temperature drops below freezing, the coat is equally comfortable buttoned with the collar up. I wear it most of the winter with a wool sweater underneath. All I need. No scarf. No messin'.

I have owned the leather peacoat since the 90's and the leather is of the highest quality and thickness.

When I hand people the coat to hang up, they are blown away by its heft and quality...

I will have it forever... The fact that it is made in the USA and reasonably priced makes it that much better... Thanks Schott... Keep up the good work...

I am looking for a new jacket now.

I got my Schott leather peacoat back in 1996. It was my sophomore year in college and my parents wanted to get me a jacket as a bday gift. At the store, after trying out all the fancy 'hiking fashion' brands (that were popular with the coeds) I took a chance on a leather jacket which caught my eye with a classic look (not really knowing the brand at all). When I put it on, it just suddenly clicked, like I was meant to have this jacket and nothing would convince me otherwise. It was pricier that other jackets in the store but just exuded quality and real value considering it will last forever. My mom relented and got it for me. 15yrs later i still LOVE it.
Now on to the review itself. Awesome cut, GREAT leather, excellent construction, timeless look, great fit. Will last forever with a little care. The only issue I've had was that the buttons on mine were a little lose. The store offered to take it back and give me store credit or have them reinforced, I didn't want to give my jacket up and after they were reinforced it hasn't been an issue again.
Fantastic jacket Schott!

This is the second Schott's product I've purchased, and I could not be more pleased. I'm in the Navy and I know Pea Coats. This black leather Pea Coat by Schotts is wonderfully constructied, warm, and of the finest leather. I've had many a compliment on this coat and it goes well both in formal and more informal venues. Schott's you've got a customer for life. Gail, thanks for your help in sizing. And thanks to the Schotts' leather garment workers for making this coat for me. Go USA!

Excellent quality of material and workmanship. A jacket for a lifetime I suppose! And by the way: thanks to Gail in customer service for remote recommendation of the very right size...

This is THE nicest leather pea coat I've ever owned. The leather is so soft, yet heavy-weight. The stitching is flawless and I love it. Fits perfectly. Two thumbs up for this leather naval pea coat!

Thick, heavy, supple, smooth leather. Quality stitching throughout. Buttons sewn on to be used and not twist off. This is not inexpensive, but the high quality is there and worth the price. Fit is exactly as advertised. Shipping was incredibly prompt. This product and Schott's get a 5 star.

Well-made, sharp, warm and American-and-Union-made to boot! I love it!

this is one well made coat.yes is may be a bit costly,but the quality level, is beyond compare.as stanley marcus said in an interview years ago,whatever you buy, whether a pen , a tie, a shirt,buy one of the best quality and it will last you a lifetime... this coat is it. i know i will pass this one on to my son. made here in the u.s.a. by a company that's been around since the 1900's ?? this is a no brainer....go for it- this is one you will not regret... "p.s." a wonderful staff to deal with as well as great shipping service to boot! do it!!

I ordered a leather peacoat 140l on a Monday night and by Thursday lunch was wearing coat 3days later which considering I live in the united kingdom is excellent service and iam delighted with coat
will definitely buy another coat as excellent build price and service

Mine is a story of ... dog hair. And a fondness for a jacket I wore throughout my youth.
Until I got dogs.
Big dogs. Big, long-haired dogs. A German Shepherd & Collie mix. A Golden Retriever mix. A Newfoundland mix. A St. Bernard mix. Another Newfoundland. All of them perfect.
But you cannot wear a navy blue wool jacket with dogs like that.
Well, you can. But you quickly discover the truth of the old saying: Dog hair is not just a condiment; it's also a fashion accessory.
So, goodbye old friend.
I've had dogs and loved them far longer than I had that pea jacket. Far longer than I was young, too, for that matter. And I've never regretted that trade-off. Not even for a second. But I've always kind of wished blue wool didn't attract and show dog hair.
Then, late this past year, I thought, dog hair's never been a problem for my motorcycle leathers. And I wondered: Do they make pea jackets in leather?
And, of course, they do.
The pea jacket may be one of the most copied jacket styles on the planet, dating back through naval history to at least 1720 (according to Wikipedia). Perhaps second only to Schott's original "Perfecto" motorcycle jacket.
And some of the copies are more like my old friend than others.
And some of the leather variants are, I'm sure, better built and of better leather than others.
But this pea jacket is exactly like my old U.S. Navy original (U.S. 740N, Pea Jacket), except leather; and no coat of any style that I have worn (a lot: I ride motorcycles) is better built or of finer leather: supple, durable and beautiful.

I’m a 42 regular but returned it for the 40 regular and still can wear a sport jacket underneath. Looking forward to the leather breaking in! A coat forever and pass on to my boys to wear!

This is one of Schott's greatest works. To take an American icon, the American peacoat, and then recreate it using beautiful, high quality leather is....insane? unreal? gorgeous? amazing? YES - all of the above plus the indescribable that you really feel. The leather, quality of construction, beautiful diamond pleated nylon lining, and all the details that set Schott apart from the crowd, are delivered in this jacket. Even the buttons with Schott's name etched is subtle, yet shows the care behind Schott's creations. The sizing is very true to size for whatever you normally wear, and the fit is what I would call Classic. I am 6' 170 average and the Large fits perfectly. If you have a slender/slim build, this jacket may be a little big - would recommend the 740C or 751 which are not leather. Wow! Wow!!! I can't stop saying wow!

This is a great jacket, the quality and weight of the leather are both great. I wanted a warm winter coat that would stand up to cold winters in Sweden. I think this jacket would do the job.

After discussing with Schott support, I ordered a 38". I take a regular 38" jacket and would generally by a medium. I have had to return it as it was way too big across the board. I did discuss sizing with support and it seemed like a 38 would be right but I suspect that a 34 is what would actually be a better fit. Due to high international postage costs, I will hold off ordering a smaller size replacement until I can try one on in person when I am in NY later in the year.

If the jacket was a good fit it would have been an easy 5 stars.

Classic iconic coat. Thick soft warm.

I have found this jacket to be comfortable and warm. The leather is soft and looks great in person. It is a heavy and sturdy jacket, and I expect to get many years of use out of it. It is definitely a case of quality being worth the price.
