Vintage USN Navy Pea Coat Navy Blue Kersey Wool WW2 WWII 8 Buttons 1943-1945 42R

Description

WW2 Era peacoat with 8 buttons. This style was issued from the end of WW1 through WW2 and shortly after.
Made from a heavy 32oz kersey, in a deep navy color (looks black unless you're in bright light/direct sun).
Features a single vent back, two hand warmer pockets (lined with corduroy, a feature abandoned after the war). Includes the throat latch, (often missing) and has the full heavy rayon lining. Lining does have a minor tear, of which a photo is included. Has 9 of the 10 buttons that it came with. Two have fallen off since I took the photos, they were barely hanging on.
The tag is the typical design used during wartime roughly from 1943, and the writing on it indicates a possible '45 issue. There is also a faint but visible stenciling of the sailor's name, same one that 's written on the tag.
