Somewhere, I have a West Point rain coat that I bought over thirty years old. That being said, these are rain coats based on the great coat pattern and I don't believe they were available in the 1860s. Several of my teammates and I bought rain capes from South Union Mills and they are based on an actual cape from the War of Northern Aggression. These work quite well.
