My jackets and coats data base could use better definitions for naval uniforms. I have basic definitions but I am no expert on naval uniform. I have seen the following terms used for Civil War era naval jackets and coats and am not sure how many of the terms are period terms and how many are modern terms use by the writers for 18th century naval uniforms.

jumper
monkey jacket
pea coat
pea jacket
round jacket
pilot coat
reefer jacket
blouse
naval blouse
