Vintage 1970s NAVY Male Officer Reefer Peacoat. This timeless military-issue outerwear jacket is designed to provide warmth and style in the cooler months.
The Reefer Coat is worn by Naval Officers and Chief Petty Officers with the Service Dress Blue or Service Khaki uniform in inclement weather. Officers display hard boards on the loops of their Men’s Officer Reefer Peacoat, while CPOs forgo insignia. Women may choose either the Men’s style with two loops or the women’s version featuring epaulets, as long as the garment is serviceable.
This hip length Peacoat jacket is made of a dark blue-black melton wool with convertible collar, full lining, 2 interior pockets, 2 front slash pockets, and an exterior double-breasted closure made of seven 40-line gold buttons with USN eagle & star emblem.
