Greatcoats were sometimes called overcoats or watchcoats. Worn as the outermost layer, this medium weight wool is great for shedding water and keeping the chill away without being overly clunky. In This is available in two readily documented period colors. The navy was likely the more common color based on what we see in period art and texts, however there is documentation for a wide variety of colors.
Not overly bulky, and really comfortable. I was initially caught off guard by the size and sleeve length, but when I realized it was an overcoat, it was easy to work with. Can easily sit in my car and drive with it on as well.
The greatcoat I ordered was just as described. Fit is just right. Another quality item from Samson!
