1938 Pea Coat - Pike Brothers

The Pea Coat - a classic with military roots.

This jacket model has been worn by navies all over the world since the 18th century. The Pea Coat was supposedly developed by Dutch sailors who, with their long seafaring tradition, needed a garment that could withstand wind and weather.

The "Pije" Coat, as it is written in Dutch, describes a coat made of heavy, robust wool fabric or boiled wool. Over time and due to its multifunctionality, the coat and also the name were adopted into other languages.

This robust garment is still used on ships all over the world today. Then as now, it offers excellent protection from the elements.

We are proud to produce the Pea Coat in the same heavy wool quality as in the 1930s. The 1000g per square meter fabric is made exclusively for us by a weaving mill in Portugal according to an old recipe from 100% new wool. Due to the high surface weight, the Pea Coat has the same wind and water repellent properties as the original.

The following details characterize our 1938 Pea Coat:

- 100% wool with 1000g/m2
- Ulster collar
- Double-breasted buttoning
- Flared hip area
- Made in Portugal
