Hello everybody, I have a question about C.S. Army officers' greatcoats. While I've seen plenty of photos and illustrations of Confederate enlisted men's greatcoats, both mounted and for foot troops, I don't think I've ever seen what their officers' greatcoats looked like. Were they sort of a gray version of the Union officers' greatcoat with frog closures etc.? Or were they more like a fancier version of the C.S. Army enlisted greatcoat, just with the curly rank devices on the cuffs and made of a better quality wool? Or something else entirely? Thanks in advance to whomever can shed some light on this.
