[edit] Army
I've heard that the Russian army (and maybe the Nazis, too) didn't issue their soldiers with sleeping bags because the coats were able to do double duty for that purpose. However, I have no citation, so I won't put it on the article.

[edit] Leather?
Most of the greatcoats I've seen have been made of wool, not leather. Hairy Dude 22:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC),
My understanding is tht greatcoats are always made of wool\serge, i have always associated Leather with trench coats. Sheep21 15:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
