Oh dear - memory is not what it was - I was thinking of a 'heavy'.
I used to have a Navy greatcoat, from a famous surplus store in Portsmouth - half belt at the back, double breasted, worn when trailing through the damp winter weather 1969/70 - probably saved my life as I was used to the dry frosty air half way up a mountain in Yorkshire.
