buzz rickson's | br14146 us navy pea coat "long model" navy
the pea coats adopted in the 1910s were comprised of a waist-length type and a knee-length type. both types were made from high-density thick melton wool and had the characteristic anchor buttons engraved with 13 stars representing the seal of the united states. but while the waist-length type had hand warmer pockets on both sides, and the lining was made of rayon cotton, the knee-length type had additional flap pockets underneath the hand warmer pockets, and the lining was wool. while both were adopted in the 1910s and the exact year of their adoption is not clear, the knee-length type undoubtedly provides greater protection from the cold.
