French Napoleonic greatcoat from the excellent 'Napoleon's Waterloo Army' by Paul L. Dawson

 The only extant 1st Empire other ranks greatcoat is preserved in the Musée de l’Empéri. Here we see details of this garment. It is made from Beige cloth, which is light brown hue and not modern Beige as we understand it. (Musée de l’Empéri, Collections du Musée de l’Armée, Anciennes collections Jean et Raoul Brunon)

A must-have book for the Waterloo fan
