tom63 Posted November 14, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2016 What is the official name or model # for this coat ? Looking around the internet, I've seen it called a bridge coat, watch coat, pea coat, etc. When were they issued/used? Was it only for Chiefs or all enlisted? This one is dated 1930 on a tag in the inside pocket. Any info would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MastersMate Posted November 14, 2016 Share #2 Posted November 14, 2016 By the description in the 1922 USN Uniform Regulations, that would be the CPO overcoat. Coast Guard Uniform regs indicate the design changed in the mid 1930s and the horizontal flap pocket was dropped. Other than the description of the buttons, the 1900 Revenue Cutter Service uniform regulations describe the same overcoat for all enlisted persons..

Slobo Posted April 11, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 11, 2020 When were the horizontal pockets and starred buttons removed in the USN regs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
