overcoat pattern

[courier]

Comrades,
I asked this question without sucess on the military side,so I'll ask it here.Maybe I should have started here.I want to know if anyone knows of an authentic pattern for a civilian style overcoat.I was thinking of a straight falling,5 button,stand and fall collar.I have the jean cloth and wool linning(FHW).CC has the military style and the Weller.I think the Weller is too limited in scope for ANV.Any thoughts please!
Regards,Rick Harris

Rick,

The "Weller" pattern coat that CC has is attributed to David F.C. Weller of the 2nd Kentucky CSA. It is probably more appropriate for AOT or TMD than ANV. Of course, since this is a civilian pattern and most likely supplied from home, it could be appropriate for any theatre of operations, although that is purely speculative.

There are also a few civilian caped overcoat patterns and a "Confederate" great coat pattern around, however I cannot attest to their accuracy.

Good luck,
Rob Wiseman
