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.

TOP TIER
Finally! I found THE peacoat for my husband. I’ve owned mine for over 30 years and thought that I’d never be able to locate the OG version in his size. I ordered and it arrived today. It is high quality, beautifully crafted and the deep navy color is a classic. He loves it and so do I!
GREAT JACKET
Really happy with my purchase. I opted for the new navy and I'm glad I did because even that looks black to me in most light. It would be nice if it was a bit more blue, but that's a minor "complaint".
For sizing reference...
I wear a 39" slim cut suit jacket and I opted for the 38. It fits great. The shoulds are ever so slightly tight when wearing a heavy sweater but the 40 was too big.
WARM, WELL MADE AND STYLISH.
This is a heavy, solid and very warm winter coat. All my queries were dealt with promptly and helpfully.
I am 57 years, 235lbs, 6ft 3" with a 44=45" chest. With layering, the 44L was recommended and would have been perfect, but was tight around the shoulders when wearing a fleece and buttoned up.
I exchanged with no issue for the 46L which was a good fit at the shoulder, but was bulky elsewhere. So I went to a tailor who took the jacket in from 1" to 1/1/2" from under the arms to the bottom. 1" was also taken off the sleeves. The jacket now fits perfectly and is a pleasure to wear. My shoulder measurement is about 21", but the jacket measurement is outer. I can see why 44L was recommended, but a few others have noted the shoulders can be tight. I deducted a star as I don't fall into Schott's idea of normal! Otherwise I am very happy with both the jacket and the service.
I LOVE WEARING MY NEW SCHOTT!

EXCELLENT QUALITY
Love the Peacoat, I got the slim fit and love the size and versatility. It’s slim fitting but I can still wear a sweater under. The 28oz weight is warm enough even in the coldest days in the northeast and cool enough for milder days.
GREAT CHOICE.
I love it. My son wants one.
GREAT QUALITY, GREAT COAT
I’m not sure there is a better quality, price, fit ratio out there for a peacoat. It’s incredibly warm, detailing is simple but elegant. I initially ordered a 36 (I am 5’7, 145 slim but athletic build) and the coat wore me. I thought it just wasn’t going to work but there was an exchange option so I ordered the 34. To my surprise it fit perfectly—still enough room for layering. Material is intentionally stiff but I’m sure will soften over time. It’s a lifetime kind of coat—a great and versatile addition to any wardrobe IMO.
A NEW FAVORITE WINTER COAT!
I first tried the 751 Slim Peacoat and the arms were too long and the coat a bit too slim for Michigan winters. I exchanged for a 740 Classic and once I put it on, this is my coat for the rest of my life.
It's very versatile. As a clergyman I can wear it over my clerical collar at funerals, and yet, I can wear this with my regular clothes and not feel over-dressed.
I love the deep hand warming pockets. I'm not afraid of my keys falling out. The quality is top notch that I've grown to expect with Schott.

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.
