    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. "Jakker" designates a man’s short, heavy, coat.
    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.
