Highlights

Stay dry in camp or on the march with this meticulously crafted reproduction of a 19th-century rubberized frock coat. Often referred to as a "gum coat" during the mid-to-late 1800s, this specialized wet-weather gear was an invaluable asset for soldiers, officers, and civilians alike facing harsh outdoor conditions. Designed with strict attention to historical silhouettes, it features the characteristic single-breasted front and full-skirted drape true to the Victorian and American Civil War eras.

Historical Features & Construction
Period-Accurate Material: Made from a heavy-duty cotton substrate coated with a authentic-looking black waterproof rubberized finish, replicating the vulcanized "India rubber" or "gutte-percha" treatments popularized in the 1850s and 1860s.

19th-Century Silhouette: Features a classic single-breasted, 5-button front closure with a traditional turned-down point collar and a distinct waist seam that creates the proper period fit.

Functional Field Details: Includes two historically pattern-correct lower flap pockets, essential for keeping your percussion caps, matches, or notebook safe from the elements.

Weatherproof Protection: Designed specifically as an outer layer to shield your wool uniform frock coat, sack coat, or period civilian attire from heavy rain and mud.

Ideal For:
Civil War Reenactments & Living History: An excellent, hard-to-find addition to a Union or Confederate impression (officer or enlisted private purchase).

19th-Century Impressions: Perfect for Victorian-era civilian, teamster, sailor, or gold rush impressions.

Theater & Film Production: Provides a highly realistic, authentic look on camera or stage without the fragility of an antique original.
