Why Wear Pea Coats?
February 8th, 2010 | by admin |The pea coat has been a staple in the British naval military armed forces and the American naval armed forces since the 1700’s. Since most of today’s designers find their inspiration in military uniforms the navy pea coat has become a fashion statement. The pea coat is a warm wool coat that can be worn for any occasion, be it formal or casual. What was once strictly for use by the male population is now equally as attractive and popular with women.
Originally pea coats came in only one color, black. The closures were brass or wood buttons with anchors or naval insignias. The modern pea coat comes in many fashionable colors and made to wear for a long time.
