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.

GREAT JACKET
Fantastic quality, one of the very best out of all the choices I had, I just didn't feel the sleeve fitted me the way I wanted.
ANOTHER WINNER FOR ME
Extremely pleased wit this jacket. I am very average in my sizing-- measure 43 chest, 5'11", 198 lbs.-- , waist 34,,, sleeve 34-35ish -- Normally take a large in most things. Bought a 42 in the 740. The sleeve lengths are perfect, the sizing and roominess is perfect, but not baggy or boxy. I would normally have gone up to the 44, but using the guide stuck with 42. I could have gone with slim model, but would not have been comfortable seated in the car as this is longer than a bomber jacker. Also the 740 has nice fit in the arms and shoulders. The fit and finish is typical Schott.
THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT.
Many stores have variations. You want this one.
QUALITY!
Really nice quality and a really nice peacoat. Like that it has the classical two-sided buttons, you can choose on which side depending on the wind.
I am a regular size 42 person, and the arms are a little bit tight. So if you don't like that order a bigger size
FINALLY!
6’2 205, 42R. Listened to the reviews and sized down to the 40. Bought a black one, liked it so much got another in oxford grey. Feel like I’m set now, tried so many different brands. Thankful I found these.

It’s very warm. Wool seems heavy duty. Sizing recommendations are accurate.
SCHOTT CUSTOMER SERVICE
Went to SF Schott Store to look at the 740 Pea Coat. where assistant manager Eddie was very helpful. I decided the 34 inch was what I wanted so ordered online. Ordered it Monday morning and was given to shipping company that afternoon. the jacket material and sewing is great.
Thank you
LOVE THIS COAT
My first purchase from Schott and I guarantee it won't be the last. Coat arrived quickly and fits perfectly. Made with pride in the USA is the only way to go. Thank you Schott for making such a fine product.
SCHOTT 34” LONG NAVY PEACOAT
As soon as I received the coat and tried it on I knew I had received the right advice from your customer service advisor and made the right choice of the coat I decided to order. It fit perfectly. I thought I would have to order a size 46 coat to get the right sleeve length I needed for my unusually long arms but your advisor was right in that the 44 long not only was the right sleeve length but the coat fit right in that the shoulders where not too tight as I feared they would be. Your advisor said the coat was made a little wider in the shoulders to accommodate wearing a heavy sweater or even a hoodie under neath and she was right. It was worth the little extra it cost to get a coat that fits properly. I know the coat will last many years if I can find a good dry cleaner to clean it between seasons. Would you have any advise about a good dry cleaner in Champaign, Illinois? The one I used to use , Country Squire Cleaners, retired in 2023. Thank you.
740 NAVY PEA COAT
I had been eyeing this coat on-line for a while but was in between which size to buy. I was recently visiting San Francisco so decided to stop by the store. Was quickly greeted by Eduardo and he helped to make sure I got the right size. Great fitting coat and great customer service, definitely recommend.

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.
