Late 1950's up to about 1965 in the cold I sometimes wore a WWII era U.S. Navy Pea Coat. Dad was in the Navy during the war and he never wore it anymore so I commandeered it even though the first few years it was too big for me. He seemed to like me wearing it because it was better than buying me another winter coat. He always called it a "Pea Coat" but I don't know if that was the official name of those things or if that was just more military slang.
