Re: Officer's great coats
Here is General Charles P. Stone wearing his regulation officer's greatcoat as a cloak, which is pretty slick if you ask me!
And here is Meredith Howland, an officer of the 7th New York State Militia. He is wearing what looks like a mounted pattern greatcoat. However, I suspect it's actually an overcoat unique the the 7th's gray and black, pre-war uniform.

He obviously bought up sutler's row.

Wow, that officer has it all going on - serious boots, sash, nice officer's sack, hooded cape, cool gloves and a rain cover on his kepi.

Re: Officer's great coats
Thank you John! This was driving me crazy. I have been looking for a good image of an officer in some kind of an overcoat on the LOC for the last two days. Here is another close-up version to going with my fellow Eric's post:

Re: Officer's great coats
There is also a staged photograph of zouaves being loaded onto an ambulance under the supervision of an officer. The officer is wearing a hooded cape like this.
"He goes in there."
"Really, sir? Gosh, thanks!"

Re: Officer's great coats
Yes there is: http://historical.ha.com/itm/militar...ription-071515
I seem to remember an old post in this forum with a photograph of a Fed. Lieutenant wearing a knapsack with a greatcoat/overcoat rolled ontop (I'm searching for it). You won't be able to tell what color/type of overcoat it is, but its there. You may find reference in period writings of soldiers and officers choosing to forgo the cape/greatcoat/overcoat and wear their blanket instead when it gets cold.
