This is simply a great pea coat. I have been wearing them since the 70's when anyone could get a real USN one for about $50. The Navy ones are built like armour and look great but are very heavy and hard to move in. Now that we have better insulating materials pea coats can and are made lighter with a better fit.
I am in my 50's and 5'7" and slim. The medium fits perfect on me and looks great and despite and earlier review declaring that pea coats have some how ONLY for the young is absurd. I got a lot of compliments from very pretty women and that is always a good thing, right? This is about the best deal out there for a good pea coat and fits and move well.
