pea coat

Naval wool outerwear

A pea coat is a short, double-breasted wool overcoat, typically navy blue, with wide lapels and large buttons.

Originally worn by European sailors, its heavy fabric and snug fit made it practical for cold, wet conditions at sea.

The style has long since crossed over into civilian fashion, where it remains a classic cold-weather staple.
