Greatcoat with the kilt?

What a great pic! Thanks for sharing it.

That looks superb Riverkilt, I have an Inverness cape, but I really covet that greatcoat...

The Cavalry one that is,

Thanks to the recommendations in other threads, I sought out and rented Tunes of Glory from Netflix. Took a couple of screenshots because the kilted scenery is so great. Now I'm on an extended hunt for a greatcoat like Nick's above (and Joc's below).

The key is the length. The P-40 from WPG is a different style and not as long, I think (though it is on sale right now at $125). Does anyone know the model name of the one above and below?

I bought (couldn't pass up the deal) the Swedish wool greatcoat from Sportsman's guide, and it's good, but not as long as I'd like in the ideal greatcoat.

Here's a shot of Alec Guinness as Jock Sinclair in Tunes of Glory in his greatcoat (photo lightened to show off the greatcoat: the shot in the film is really dark)

p.s. I noted that once in the bar, Alec Guiness turns his back to camera as he unbuttons his coat while taking drinks orders: maybe bearing out how difficult it is to button and unbutton?

That is an outstanding picture! I rarely button it all the way up, only when it's cold and windy since I don't have my scarf, but it's warm!

The length is one of the things that really defines a greatcoat, that and it's fullness.

That pic also reminded me that I was thinking about an Ike jacket (no emblems) to wear with the kilt as a general jacket.
