U.S.A.
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.

SCHOTTNYC 740N LONG
Beautiful jacket, thick warm, and well made. But there are lots of reviews to wax eloquent on that. Writing this one to help all you tall skinny guys out there. I was on the fence about whether to get a normal or a long because I was worried the long would be too tall in the body. After getting the sizing info from Jerri I still wasn't sure. My measurements are thus:
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 145 lbs
Chest 35.5-36 inches
I tried the 34 regular and the body fit great, nice and slim, didn't make me feel like a box on stilts (which many standard sizes do) but the sleeves were too short. So I went with the 34L. Fits PERFECT. So there you have it. Tall and skinny, measurements as above? Go with the Long, you won't be sorry.
(haha, and Jerri told me to go with the long to begin with, should have listened to her :-D)
AS ADVERTISED AND MORE
The size recommendation made after I put in my info was spot on. The jacket is extremely high quality, well made, extremely warm, and fits perfectly.
740N
Excellent coat the fit and feel far exceeds my expectations. The only reason why I did not give a 5 star review is because only after about 3 weeks of wear a button fell off. After closer inspection I noticed on a couple others the string holding them on is starting to come undone. Not a huge issue to have them sewn on stronger but for a coat that costs over $300 I would expect it to be stronger from the manufacturing process. Otherwise its a great coat and would recommend to anyone looking for a genuine pea coat.
740N
Beautiful peacoat and beautiful service!
SATISFIED CUSTOMER
Excellent product. Excellent service
FINALLY GOT MINE AND I LOVE IT!
Hi all. So, I waited 52 years, and after having crappy, foreign-made, knock-off junk Pea Coats, I FINALLY went to Schott's in NYC and got the real deal. From the moment I tried it on, my wife and daughter were like "oh yeah that looks awesome!"
The fit and feel of the 740 are amazing - what a quality, well made, great looking coat! I am so glad I finally got one, and look forward to years of great wear. Thank you Schott for always being an American original! Please stay that way!
NAVY PEA COAT
Bought this for my brother in 38R. Easy transaction, quick shipping, perfect fit. Aces!
HIGH QUALITY PEA COAT
I never realized how hard it is to find an affordable 100% wool pea coat. Let alone one that is heavier than 24 oz. I'm pleased with the coat.
My only wish is that a slimmer fit were available. For me a 42 fits perfectly except around the waist where it appears more boxy (maybe just me).
It's an otherwise very good choice and compared to the available competitors I've seen a very good price.
CLASSIC MELTON WOOL NAVY PEA COAT
Excellent coat: thick wool, well sewn. I’m 5’6” and 135 pounds and the size 34 fits almost like a suit coat. No tailoring needed. If you need more room, go for the 36.

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.
