St. Louis Depot Artillery jackets have wool jean lining http://www.cjdaley.com/st.louis.htm . From my understanding SA Depot also made Invalid Corps jackets http://www.cjdaley.com/vrc.htm , which appear to have been lined with a wide variety of fabrics. Not exactly what you were looking for, but this may give you a idea of what was in use. Good luck with your search.

All the best,

Andrew

Christof,
Here is an older thread that shows the linings of two mounted services jackets. http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...ad.php?t=24010

My understanding is that many Cincinnati Depot pieces were lined in alpaca, but don't quote me on that.
