Ladies and Gents,
I have for sale a Federal Enlisted Man's Greatcoat, just in time for Christmas! It is marked Quartermaster Shop on the inside with a tag that says 44/42R (L). I would say a 42 would be a fair sizing, with a jacket underneath.
It is lined in cotton twill and is quite warm, as would be the purpose of such an item.
I picked up the coat in used condition a few years ago, but have kept it in my closet since. It has some stains and dirt on it, which are typical of field use. Also, there are only 3 of the 5 large buttons on it, and one button is missing from the cape. In addition, the stitching has fallen out of some of the buttonholes (which is really nothing to worry about). I resewed 2 of them by hand, but will leave the rest and allow the buyer to try their hand at such an endeavor.
As of right now, such a coat sells for $239 brand new, but I realize this coat is far from new and has some flaws. I would like to ask $180 shipping included.
If interested, please PM or email me at aheebs@gmail.com
