generally of navy colored
heavy wool, originally worn by
sailors of European and later

large wooden or metal buttons,
and vertical or slash pockets.
Two columns of buttons can be
found on the front of the pea
coat, generally a pea coat has
either an 8 button fronts or
10 button fronts. Today the
style is considered a classic,

women, it is often referred to
as a Jackie O Jacket. The coat
