US Navy Type Pea Coat

What is the US Navy Type Pea Coat made of?

The Rothco US Navy Type Pea Coat is built from a heavyweight 29 ounce wool blend, specifically 75 percent wool and 25 percent polyester. It includes a quilted nylon lining for added comfort against winter winds. This thick, insulating construction is designed for warmth and long lasting durability in cold conditions.

Are navy pea coats warm enough for cold weather?

Yes. This pea coat answers that question with a thick, insulating 75 percent wool and 25 percent polyester blend plus a quilted nylon lining. The heavyweight 29 ounce wool blend helps maintain body heat during long shifts on cold tarmacs and in unheated hangars, making it well suited to harsh winter weather.

How many buttons does the pea coat have and what is the closure style?

It features a classic 10 button, double breasted design reminiscent of traditional naval uniforms. The double breasted front overlaps and fastens securely to block wind and trap warmth. This authentic button layout honors the original naval pea coat styling while delivering reliable cold weather coverage you can count on.

How many pockets does this coat have?

The coat is equipped with two large vertical front pockets plus two inside pockets, giving you four total. That setup provides ample storage for essential gear, keeps hands warm, and offers secure interior space for items you want to carry close. It balances classic naval styling with practical everyday function.

Does the lapel flip up for extra protection?

Yes. The convertible lapel flips up and fastens with a secure front button closure. This gives you additional protection around the neck and face when weather deteriorates, such as wind, rain, or blowing snow. The feature reflects the original naval design, which was built for exposed, harsh conditions.

Is there a back vent for easier movement?

Yes. The coat features a vent in the back for improved range of movement and easier mobility while you wear it. Combined with the quilted nylon lining, which adds comfort, this helps the heavyweight wool coat feel comfortable during active tasks rather than stiff or restrictive on the move.

Does this pea coat run true to size, and can I layer underneath?

Pea coats are traditionally cut close but not tight, with room for a sweater underneath. If you want space to layer over a thick sweater, order your normal chest size; for a trimmer fit, consider sizing down. Check the size options on this page and measure your chest over the layers you plan to wear.

It is made for pilots and aviation professionals who need warmth on cold tarmacs and in unheated hangars, as well as anyone who appreciates authentic vintage naval styling.

What is a pea coat and why is it called that?

A pea coat is a short, double breasted heavy wool overcoat traditionally worn by sailors in naval service. The name is widely traced to the Dutch word pij, a coarse twilled wool cloth, with later English usage tying it to coats cut from that fabric. This Rothco model is an authentic reproduction of that naval classic.

How do you care for and clean a wool pea coat?

Wool pea coats are best cared for gently. Brush off surface dirt, spot clean small marks, and air the coat rather than washing it often. For deeper cleaning, dry cleaning is the safest choice for wool blends, ideally at the start and end of the season. Avoid hot water and tumble drying, which can damage wool fibers. Always follow the garment care label.
