Style 740 is an 80/20 wool/nylon blend.
Model is 6'2", weighs 175 lbs, with a 38" chest and is wearing size 38.
The US Navy Peacoat was adopted during the early 20th Century, from Britain’s Royal Navy Reefer Jacket. The Royal Navy's first regulations for uniforms for other ranks were issued in 1857, a century after the regulations for officers and this garment was originally used by Midshipmen (Reefers). These crewmen had to climb the rigging and furl and unfurl, or ‘reef’, the sails of the sailing ships of the era. The jacket was short, to allow ease of movement through the rigging. It had a double-breasted front, which displaced the buttons to each side. This helped reduce the chance of them getting caught on ropes, as the wearer maneuvered the sails. The pockets were often close to vertical, and over the flanks, rather than horizontal and at wrist level. It was made of very heavy wool, in dark Navy blue, with a nap on the face side.
The success of the style is proved by its singularly universal appearance throughout the Navies of Europe. This may account for the US Navy's nomenclature as an Anglicization of the Dutch 'Pijekkat', being a jacket made of 'Pij' (coarse wool) cloth. Conversely, it may be from the shortening of the Belgium Navies term ‘Pilot’s Jacket’ to P. Jacket, then being misspelled/adapted to Pea Coat. The term ‘Pea Jacket’ is reputed to first appear in the Oxford English Dictionary between 1717 and 1723. ‘Pea Coat’ does not appear for another century.

25+ YEARS LATER.
I bought navy surplus pea coat in high school. It wore out early in college, so I bought a Schott. I am now 47. I am still wearing that coat. It's been to 3 continents. It's kept me warm in Norway in January, and San Francisco in August. It fits true to size.
FINALLY GOT MY PEA COAT
Came on schedule. I used to wear a P-coat when it was the rage in the early 70's. Been missing it ever since. Man! This thing is warm and looks nice! Since it's brand new, it is a little stiff and will require a breaking-in time. Took a walk in Oregon fog and it felt a warm cocoon! Very pleased so far!
740N IN DARK NAVY IS A WINNER
I ordered this jacket in size 38 as everyone tells me to size down on the reviews. Turns out it was too tight especially if I layered with a sports coat underneath. I exchanged it for a 40 and it's much better. I like the style and color. The dark navy does look almost black so be mindful of that upon ordering.
Definitely need to cross button the flaps for those colder winter days or wear a scarf since cold air does come to the chest area. I think its a solid dressy coat which I hope will last me many cold NJ winters.
JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
I originally wanted the black one but my only option was to pre order. After talking to customer service I was assured that the navy color was pretty much black and it really is. The fit was perfect and I did not size down like a lot of reviews say to do.
I am very satisfied with my purchase.
SATISFIED CUSTOMER
Recently purchased the 740N peacoat. Received it a couple of days later, was able to monitor the order each step of the way. The quality of the coat is exactly as advertised and the fit was true to size. Overall a very pleasant experience.
BEAUTIFUL COAT
The nicest coat I have ever owned. It is very well made of high quality materials. I did have to have the sleeves altered. I am only 5' 5" tall and the sleeves were too long. I like the fact that I can wear it with dress or casual wear.. It is good to know that there are still companies out there making high quality products in the USA. It would be nice if they made it in a short model instead of just regular and tall. This is a coat that will last a life time and can be handed down to the next generation.
THIS IS THE ONE.
If you’re searching for pea coats, this is the one. It’s incredibly warm and sturdy, and looks incredible. I wore it out of the box on a 20F windy day, and it kept me perfectly warm.
Recommend you size down if you’d like a slightly slimmer fit. I’m 5’10”, 175 with an athletic build. My chest measured about 40-41”, and I sized down to a 38. It fits perfectly.
AMAZING WARMTH AND A DAPPER FIT.
Loved seeing this coat around youtube especially praises from @ironsnail.. Incredible warmth amazing wool function and feel. A great fit into a classic mens wear wardrobe coz the silhouette looks tailored!
1 drawback to sticking with the original design is its not great at stopping rough wind !
WARM AND CLASSY … LOVING IT!
Amazing warmth great wool function. Fits well into my classic wardrobe!!
Beware the classic navy color looks black half the time.
1 drawback from the classic design is the winter resistance is slightly weak.
GREAT COAT!
This is my second Schott pea coat. I had a 740c for almost 20 years. Not a loose thread or button ever. Unfortunately, my more recent dad bod is not a good fit for the 740C. I gave that one to my 21 year old son and he loves it. I bought a 740 and so far so good. Warm and well constructed. I expect decades of wear.

1. How dark is the Navy color?
The Navy on the 740 is a traditional dark navy color that is almost black. You would notice blue hint when comparing to actual black. The "New Navy" color offered is more of a milder dark blue.
2. Should I get a long size?
We recommend people to go for the long size if they are over 6'2", or have long arms/torsos.
