Pea coat
A pea coat (or pea jacket, pilot jacket) is an outer coat, generally of a navy-coloured heavy wool, originally worn by sailors of European and later American navies. Pea coats are characterized by short length, broad lapels, double-breasted fronts, often large wooden, metal or plastic buttons, and vertical or slash pockets. References to the pea jacket appear in American newspapers at least as early as the 1720s,〔Boston Gazette, Iss. 22, May 9–16, 1720, p.3〕 and modern renditions still maintain the original design and composition.〔 A ''bridge coat'' is a pea coat that extends to the thighs, and is a uniform exclusively for officers and chief petty officers. The ''reefer'' is for officers and chief petty officers only, and is identical to the basic design but usually has gold buttons and epaulettes. Only officers wear the epaulettes.〔 == Characteristics == Today the style is considered a classic, and pea coats are now worn by all manner of individuals. The style has evolved to the addition of hoods. A few of the jackets seen on the street are genuine navy surplus; being a classic garment, it is frequently available from retailers, though often with small design changes that reflect the current fashion trends. The standard for historical pea coats was wool, most often made of heavy Melton cloth through the 1970s in the U.S. Navy. Presently coats are made from wool. While pea coats are offered in many colors by retailers, the US Navy-issue pea coat is black (although listed as dark blue in US Navy Uniform regulations).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=§5 Article 3501.41 Peacoat (E6 and Below) )〕
