was it worth it?

Yes, I think it was well worth the money. It is a classic style, a good and basic colour, is mostly wool, was made domestically and is flattering on you. What more could you ask for in a coat? I think it was a great choice!

Oh, and pea coat or pea jackets are named for the kind of cloth they are made from. Pea or pease is a form of a Dutch or Frisian word for a course type of cloth. The Navy either made or popularized the double breasted style, so the coats are often referred to as Navy peacoats.
