Canadian shawl collar mackinaw
I picked this shawl collar mackinaw up in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The anchors on the chain hanger, along with Halifax being the headquarters of Canada’s East Coast navy make me think this is a naval piece. It is shearling lined with a huge collar, and a heavy cotton duck shell. The belt is attached with keepers over the belt loops.

USN cold weather jacket
I’m not sure what the designation on this one is, other than that is is a Navy piece. It has a full removable alpaca lining and a cotton shell. Handwarmer pockets, flapped pockets, and a brass talon zipper. It got the hippie treatment later on in its life, probably bought surplus, and now proudly sports a Greatful Dead patch on its shoulder.

These coats have a great figure-enhancing cut, with a “V” shaped buttoning and a short skirt, accentuating the height of the wearer.
