Federal Greatcoat

[tibisius]

Hi comrades.

Some months ago I bought this greatcoat repro from a private seller in the Authentic campaigner forum

The fabric, lining and handsewn parts are correct, but the problem is the number of buttons, 7 in the cape and only 4 in the body. (The standard ones have 6/5).

Somebody has seen a similar one?






Thanks.

Re: Federal Greatcoat

I did a quick Google images search; "Federal Great Coat" and "Union Great Coat". The original photos that pop up did not show a four button variety.

Have you considered adding a 5th button hole to the coat?
