Just received a picture of Confederate relatives in their military garb. They
are wearing what seems to be "Slouch hats" and are dressed in long, ankle
length, overcoats. Their coats coat are double breasted, two rows of four
buttons, and at first glance appear to be wool. The brothers pictured were
enlisted men of the 22nd VA Infantry.

What type of coat are they wearing?

Thank you in advance for any information.

Sincerely,

Mike Peters
