All,
There are some nice Federal items for sale on eBay this week, including this lot of an issue blanket and jeancloth Federal overcoat:
The quality of jeancloth appears to be better than that of most currently available jeancloth, looking almost like a whipcord or worsted gabardine. I'm aware of only one other jeancloth Federal greatcoat (pictured in EoG) and several others made from black satinet, black kersey, black broadcloth, one of sky blue wool felt, and one of gray wool felt.
I posted this here with the intention of getting some discussion started regarding Federal greatcoats made from materials such as these, specifically sky blue jean and satinet.
