  • Style 740 is an 80/20 wool/nylon blend.
  • Whereas the wool provides significant warmth, the nylon adds strength and durability to the fabric.
  • The US Navy Peacoat was adopted during the early 20th Century, from Britain’s Royal Navy Reefer Jacket.
  • The Royal Navy's first regulations for uniforms for other ranks were issued in 1857, a century after the regulations for officers and this garment was originally used by Midshipmen (Reefers).
  • These crewmen had to climb the rigging and furl and unfurl, or ‘reef’, the sails of the sailing ships of the era.
  • The jacket was short, to allow ease of movement through the rigging.
  • It had a double-breasted front, which displaced the buttons to each side.
  • This helped reduce the chance of them getting caught on ropes, as the wearer maneuvered the sails.
  • The pockets were often close to vertical, and over the flanks, rather than horizontal and at wrist level.
  • It was made of very heavy wool, in dark Navy blue, with a nap on the face side.
  • The success of the style is proved by its singularly universal appearance throughout the Navies of Europe.
  • This may account for the US Navy's nomenclature as an Anglicization of the Dutch 'Pijekkat', being a jacket made of 'Pij' (coarse wool) cloth.
  • Conversely, it may be from the shortening of the Belgium Navies term ‘Pilot’s Jacket’ to P.
  • Jacket, then being misspelled/adapted to Pea Coat.
  • The term ‘Pea Jacket’ is reputed to first appear in the Oxford English Dictionary between 1717 and 1723. ‘Pea Coat’ does not appear for another century.
