I'm gonna make your life tougher... I like the blue.

 

But then, I just like a dark, rich blue!  

 

But it depends on what you like, and what the rest of your clothes look like!  

 

And... if you really are discerning becoming a priest in a few years, you'll have a LONG time with black, so enjoy the blue for now!  

 

yup....   :evil: is my middle name....

Go with the black. Have I ever been sarcastic in one of your fashion threads before?

 

 

 

 

 

The answer, btw, is no. Actually, I'm not sure I even knew of your fashion threads before now.

Since everyone hates me, I will go with the black.

If I were you I would get one, save my money and get the other one. I like the blue as well and can see why you are having such a hard time. :)

This is a nice thought, but the coat is $120. Fabulousness comes at a high cost, unfortunately.

I have a black pea coat and I wear it with everything so it was money well spent.  Just something to think about.  You probably don't want to spend $120 on a coat that you can only wear sometimes because it doesn't match a lot of stuff.  Oh and pea coats in general are fantastic.  Why are they called pea coats anyway?

According to a 1975 edition of the Mariner's Mirror, the term pea coat originated from the Dutch or West Frisian word pijjekker or pijjakker, in which pij referred to the type of cloth used, a coarse kind of twilled blue cloth with a nap on one side.[6]

Another theory, favoured by the US Navy, is that the heavy topcoat worn in cold, miserable weather by seafaring men was once tailored from "pilot cloth" -- a heavy, coarse, stout kind of twilled blue cloth with the nap on one side. This was sometimes called P-cloth from the initial letter of pilot, and the garment made from it was called a p-jacket -- later a pea coat. The term has been used since 1723 to denote coats made from that cloth.[7]

 

Cool.

Cool. 

 

I've decided I need to go to a store to try navy and black peacoats on so I can decide which one looks better on me. :P

Bring a couple pairs of pants with you - the ones you will normally be wearing with it. And make sure the shirt you wear is one that you will be wearing with the coat and pants as well.
