Would like to buy a good condition cadet style raincoat like those that Quartermaster used to carry or something similar for use on the firing line. Chest size is 48” so need a large size. Gray color preferred, but will consider others. Just wanting to be in uniform and dry.

I feel your pain. I have had a VMI raincoat for over 35 years. It was old when I got it. Trying to replace it for years. Considered having it copied in China. Good Luck in your hunt

There is a company in Scotland that produces and sells Cadet type rain coats with capes for Pipe Bands. I hope Bob Kelley of the 72nd NY sees this because he has the specific info on this. He had told me, but I didn't write it down......

While I have also had a cadet rain coat for many years (West Point), I don't believe that is period correct for the War of Yankee Aggression. Rather, it is copied from the great coat.

South Union Mills has some period rain coats.

I used the website link provided by raiderANV above. That got me to Mr. Anthony’s website. It illustrates products and provides ordering instructions. On first try they responded that they were closed for the holidays. They emailed again a few days later. Ordering, payment and shipping all completed no hassle. Expecting delivery this week.
