Hey everyone. I am looking to buy a P-coat while I am in Madrid. I should have gone to an Army Surplus store before I left home because there are so easy to get in California, but I didn't and now I am stuck without one. Does anyone know where I can find one here in Madrid? Is there a possibility that Madrid might have an Army surplus store? I know that I can probably find one in some designer store, but I am not really looking forward to spending 150 Euros for a P-coat. I was also thinking about having my brother just buy one and shipping it here, but it might be expensive shipping it. Any suggestions welcomed.

A P-Coat or Peacoat is a thick wool coat that is issued to Navy servicemen by the United States Navy. Because these coats can withstand the harshest conditions, many people in the general public have used them as well. They usually come in black, blue, or grey. The P-Coat can be found brand new in stores or used in Army Surplus stores. In the States these Army Surplus stores are shops that sell old (and new) military stuff (anything from backpacks to coats to boots etc..). Hope this helps clairfy my query.

Hi ghostdog, (your nick sound like the Jim Jarmush movie).

I know the P-Coat, but it might be too warm from Madrid winters. Anyways, there is an army surplus in Madrid in Mercado de Fuencarral (Fuencarral 45, Metro Tribunal). It is not as big as usual american store but you might get lucky and find your P-Coat.

Bye,
