My father was a sailor in WWII. His coat was called a Pea coat. It was made of heavy wool, was navy-colored, had broad lapels and a double breasted front. A good reference for P-coats is:http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pea_coat. According to this reference, the Pea coat first appeared in the early 19th century. There are also at least two forms of coats worn by officers: Bridge coats and reefers.
