US Navy Wool Peacoat (DSCP)

Community noted

A heavy melton wool peacoat issued to US Navy sailors through the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP), featuring quad-stitched seams.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Redditors say the discontinued DSCP peacoats are heavy melton wool with quad stitching throughout and hold up for decades; one owner's 1970s coat only needed new buttons and a clean.

    If you can find an old DSCP peacoat, buy it! They're made of heavy melton wool and have quad stitching throughout.
