You can find the history of the Pea-Coat on the Forties-Factory blog

It is said to have been created in the 18th century by the Dutch navy, hence its name. The term pea coat, or " pije coat " in Dutch, describes a coat made of a sturdy wool fabric. Originally, it was made by the sailors themselves, who made it waterproof by applying a dressing composed of tar, tallow and turpentine. The British and French navies adopted this double-breasted jacket for themselves and adapted it to the needs of their officers.

The pea coat met with great success and was in turn adopted by the US Navy. The coat was worn by the « reefers » who climbed the rigging of sailing ships. This sturdy garment is still used today in the navy, as it effectively protects against wind, cold and torrential rain. At sea, it has proven its worth – and will do so again in the future. The wearer stays warm even in the most difficult weather conditions.
