The word peacoat is stems from the Dutch word 'pije', which means a coat made of thick wool, and and likely comes from the early 18th century. But it was the British and the heyday of the Royal Navy which really made the peacoat synonymous with the sea. The US Navy, in the very late 1800s would take inspiration from the British reefer jacket and create their own peacoat which,  though updated though various iterations, only ceased to be issued in 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis particular example is from the heyday of the peacoat, WW2.
