I have, for as long as I can remember, wanted a pea coat. I love them. I think that dark navy pea coats are quite possibly the best kind of coats ever. I would see people wearing them, or see them at their houses, and I would covet them.
I'm not usually a coveter. But they are so great, and I can't usually get myself to buy a coat. I mean, that can be a pricey purchase, and I'd usually rather spend the money on other things.
Last weekend, Jennifer and I went to Old Navy to spend her gift card, and I was going to spend a little bit of holiday money. I picked out a pair of pants. And then, on a whim, I tried on this coat, which was neat but didn't look all that good on me. It was on killer sale, though.
And then Jen said, "I think you should go try on the pea coats instead." And she pulled sizes off the rack and gave expert opinions, and when I wasn't sure, she said I really needed to buy the coat. She did this by telling me over and over how good I looked in it, with this great little glint in her beautiful eyes.
And I spent the money. And I bought the coveted dark navy pea coat. AND I /LOVE/ IT.

Peas Coat
I really like the ones at Old Navy, too! I saw them when they first came out and thought I'd see 1 out of 4 people wearing them from then on - but I haven't! In fact, you're probably the first person I "know" who has one!
I'd love to wear a pea coat myself...then it'd be a PeasCoat...but I have to admit that it looks like I'm wearing a pup tent!
Re: Peas Coat
And I think you definitely need a Peas Coat. That would be too funny. When I got mine, I worried that I would look like a sausage. I used to have this all-conditions gore-tex jacket from LL Bean and when I would button it, I totally looked like I was stuffed into a sausage. Ewww!
