German Navy Overcoat

Navy Pattern Wool Overcoat

The Mil-Tec German Navy Overcoat is a long, double-breasted coat cut in the style of the German naval greatcoat, made for cold, wet days. The wool and viscose blend gives it weight and warmth, and the length runs past the knee to keep wind off your legs. It suits anyone who wants a dark, formal military coat they can wear every day, whether that is over a suit, over work clothes or as part of a period or uniform outfit.

Features

• Wool And Viscose Blend — Wool brings the warmth, and viscose, a soft plant-based fiber, gives the cloth a smoother hand and drape.
• Double-Breasted Front — The front panels overlap across the chest, which adds a second layer of cloth over your core and closes out drafts.
• Eight Gold-Tone Buttons — Two columns of four embossed metal-look buttons run down the front in the traditional naval layout.
• Wide Notched Lapels — The large collar and lapels can be worn open or turned up against the wind.
• Flap Hip Pockets — Two pockets with covering flaps sit at the hips and keep rain and debris out.
• Buttoned Back Half-Belt — A cloth tab fixed with two gold-tone buttons across the back gathers the waist for a cleaner fit.
• Center Back Pleat — A deep pleat below the half-belt opens as you walk so the long skirt does not restrict your stride.
• Below-Knee Length — The full greatcoat cut covers the thighs and knees for more protection than a hip-length jacket.
• Dark Uniform Color — The plain dark cloth contrasted with gold buttons follows the look of the German naval original.

Cut And Construction

Mil-Tec builds this coat as a commercial reproduction of the German Navy pattern rather than issued surplus, so you get new cloth and fresh stitching with the original styling. The shoulders are structured and the body is tailored, with a fitted waist set by the rear half-belt. Because it is double-breasted and cut to sit over other layers, check the size chart against a chest measurement taken over the clothes you plan to wear under it.
