Vintage peacoat made by NAVAL CLOTHING FACTORY, which was issued to the U.S. Navy during World War II. This is an authentic model manufactured in the 1940s with a 10-button configuration, and is a masterpiece with a massive and rugged atmosphere that cannot be reproduced by modern replicas.
The most attractive feature is the one and only detail that seems to have been actually modified by the soldiers of the time. When some of the buttons on the front came off, there are traces of hand-sewing to repair them, and even the bottom pocket has been sewn on, a truly charming and humanistic point. It is a special one-of-a-kind item that was created by a soldier in the field, even though it was an accident. This is exactly the kind of "vintage that can be talked about" in military clothing.
The structure itself is made to symbolize the WWII period, with thick melton wool like a navy pea coat , original buttons with anchor marks, a large stand-up collar, and the NAVAL CLOTHING FACTORY tag that remains on the inside pocket. The name stencil remains faintly on the inside, giving it a real sense of use.
The overall condition shows signs of wear, especially on the neck lining, which shows the remnants of actual warfare use. The lining also has some fraying. This can be resolved by maintenance. Nevertheless, the fabric's tension and structural strength are still strong and can be worn today without any problems. In fact, this level of wear is what makes the background of this piece so compelling. It is not only a fashion item, but a true military archive that gives us a sense of a part of the history of the soldiers who lived in those days. It is a coveted vintage item for military lovers, which is differentiated from "just old clothes.
