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 PEA COAT
The coat itself is impressively lightweight while still providing excellent warmth, making it an ideal choice for transitional weather or travel. It offers enough insulation to remain practical as a winter coat when paired with the right layers, which is a big plus for its versatility.
As for versatility, this coat is a true chameleon in my wardrobe. It pairs effortlessly with casual jeans for a laid-back look and dresses up nicely for more formal outfits. Its ability to transition between styles made it a reliable go-to option for a variety of occasions. A cool feature is the buttons have the added correct look of the anchor with the rope wrapped around.
Anyone looking for a stylish, functional, and travel-friendly coat, this is one worth considering.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS GOOD
I have owned lesser peacoats. Thinner for sure. This one seems to be made to be a lifer. Well-constructed and sturdy. Heavy as hell but, as another reviewer said first, it doesn't look bulky when worn. It is warm on a cold ay. Just as it is supposed to be. And it looks good, smart. I got the new navy which looks black if you don't look too closely. That's okay. I wish Schott still did green but this is more traditional. I can't think of anything wrong with it so I'll give it five stars.
LOVE THIS COAT
My husband and I love the look and feel of this coat. It fits with what he remembers from his childhood. The fit is fabulous and the quality is outstanding! The shipping and receiving of this order is unmatched in this day. Thank you so very much for upholding QUALITY!
WARM, CLASSIC COAT
I'm in love with my Peacoat. The design and style are so classic. The coat is very warm. I would sacrifice a little of that warmth to have a less bulky coat. I ordered one size smaller than I normally wear. The coat fits me perfectly, it's just slightly bulky which is par for the course with peacoats.
NAVY PEA COAT 740
My father served in the Navy during WW 2 and came home with his Navy issue pea coat. My older sisters wore it out before I came along. That being said, I have always wanted one and have been looking for the perfect one for years. I had been looking at the Schott 740 for over a year and finally pulled the trigger last month. Once it arrived and I tried it on for the first time, I realized that it was everything that I was looking for in a pea coat. The style. The weight of it, all perfect. I wore it out over the weekend in below zero wind chill, I hardly felt it!! I will echo a lot of the reviews and say, order a size down. I'm 6', 240 and the 46 regular fits perfect. Thank you, Schott, for making this 64-year-old kid's dream come true!!
TIGHT SHOULDERS
I wanted to love this jacket. Been looking at it online (and on Robert Redford in Three Days of the Condor) for years.
I'm 5' 10" and about 185. Average to athletic build.
The good: Great-looking, well made, and has thick wool. Sleeves and overall length are perfect. Good around the middle (not tight, not baggy).
The not-so-good: Shoulders are cut like a suitcoat. Way too tight. Uncomfortable and restricts movement, even with a t-shirt.
I own Filson and Woolrich jackets that fit much better and have shoulders that are roomy enough for a sweater but are not loose or baggy at all. Wish the Schott fit the same.
AN EXCELLENT COAT -- INITIAL IMPRESSION
I have just received this coat so I cannot address long term durability or use. It seems to be a very well made coat -- thick wool -- seems it will be warm. Fits true to size and looks great. I am very pleased with the customer service. I had gotten a smaller size but decided that I wanted to go a size larger. The return process was easy (though you do have to pack it up and take it to UPS). As soon as they received the old coat the sent me a new one. Overall, I highly recommend.
GREAT BUT REALLY DARK
The coat seems to be of very high quality. This is a heavy coat for cold weather not some thin look alike. I would give it 5 stars, but the "New Navy" color is very, very dark. It almost looks black even in direct sunlight. If placed next to a black or charcoal piece of clothing, you can tell that it is in fact blue. I had hoped the "New Navy" would be a little more obviously blue than the "Navy". However, this is a great coat. My original order was for a 40R which I normally wear but it was way too big for me. I'm 5'11" 180 lb. Schott did a return and exchange to the 38R and it fits great.
EXCELLENT COAT
Very pleased with my purchase!
The quality and weight of this coat is impressive. The pictures do not do the coat justice.
I’m 5’10” 175 and wear a size 40 blazer, I took the recommendations of many and sized down to a 38 and fits perfect, the extra length provides a little more coverage and achieves the desired look I was looking for.
IN LOVE
I absolutely love this coat. My biggest apprehension was whether or not I was ordering the right size. There seemed to be a lot of range in the reviews here and I waffled back and forth for about a week before pulling the trigger. In the hope that it helps the next person, I'm 5'7" about 170 lbs and I ordered a 40 that fits perfectly. It hangs well with just a shirt, and across my shoulders, but is still roomy enough that I could add a sweater layer if weather dictated. I can't wait for it to get cold enough to wear daily!

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.
