U.S. NAVY PEA COAT (WWII) Size:36 and mohair yarn is twistedThe military first adopted the pea coat prior to WWI in 1913. The details of this WWII model have been updated since its first inception back in 1913, removing the additional lower pockets and keeping just the two hand warmer slash pockets for a cleaner silhouette.
