A greatcoat was a type of overcoat, especially associated on Earth with the First and Second World Wars. Such coats were almost exclusively worn by men. They easily fit over even full-dress uniforms. Typically made of a heavy fabric, such as wool, they extended down to the mid-calf, to provide warmth over almost the entire body. They were distinguished by their exceptional length, prominent pockets, substantial collars and large buttons. Typically, greatcoats also had a strip of cloth with decorative buttons on the back, at roughly waist level. This strap across the back naturally gathered the cloth across the back to provide a characteristic pleat.[source needed]
