I've seen this kind of coat referred to as an 'Avalanche' and I think 'Coast Guard' coat but imagine those were just casual terms for a style of coat we are mostly familiar with. Now the fact we can see in this photo 3 what I assume to be USN personnel - though I suppose they could be civilians on board a USN vessel for some reason - wearing seemingly identical coats makes me wonder if these were actual issued items and if so is there a proper name and some documentation for them?
