Inverness cape alternatives?

Navy Bridgecoat



Replica Civil War greatcoats. Cavalry models have longer capes.



Surplus military greatcoats. This was $20 from Sportsmansguide.com or something like that. Just had a thread on it. Stock varies from surplus dealers.

Have seen offers of French police capes from Sportsmans guide too, but never in stock in my size. Thought someone on the board picked one up.

And, just noticed, if you've $180 to spend Sportsman Guide has a new wool U Boat Commander's greatcoat that weights TEN pounds. That's gotta be warm. And, its in Extra Large and TWO Extra Large.

Ron,
I've got to agree with you on the Civil War Cavalry Greatcoat for warmth and for wearing with a kilt. I have both a US (like you are wearing) and one patterned after Maj. Gen. John Bell Hood's overcoat in what the reenacting community calls "British Army Cloth", a dark blue grey mixture. Very warm, cuts the wind, and I can access my sporran with no trouble at all, while wearing it.

Cheers,

Brian

Boy, anything worn by Gen Hood HAS to be most cool - even as a replica.

My leather kilts - RKilt and Utilikilt have held up well in foul weather...

I'm still LUSTING after that U Boat Commander's ten pound greatcoat...even has a detachable hood...gotta be super warm...
