1940s US Navy Bridge Coat

1940's US Navy officer's bridge coat, Rogers Peet, size 44, $100

Perfect for those colds nights by the telescope, this thing is a couple of kilos of heavy wool, made for naval officers on the decks of destroyers in the middle of the freezing ocean. Selling because it's just too big for me.

From asking around it seems like this may have been a custom job, as there aren't many Rogers Peet navy bridge coats around, and the throat latch wasn't common either. Only $100 as it does need some love where the stitches are coming loose, and it's missing a button from the front and back. You can find the buttons on ebay pretty easily though, or replace them with something more subtle.

Pickup Northcote, VIC
