What Is A Pea Coat?
A pea coat or peacoat, pea jacket, or pilot jacket is an outer coat. Traditionally part of naval uniforms, a pea coat is a short double-breasted overcoat made of thick wool fabric, decorated with an anchor motif and other details. Think of this dapper coat as a cold weather-friendly version of a double-breasted blazer. It's characterized by broad lapels, large buttons, and sleek exterior pockets. Though traditionally made in navy, you can find just about every color imaginable these days.
