WW2 Overcoat Canadian Army Greatcoat Royal Montreal Regiment

This is an authentic WW2 overcoat worn by a Canadian soldier of the Royal Montreal Regiment.  British and Canadian soldiers called this a greatcoat - it is made of heavyweight wool.  There are 6 brass buttons arranged in a double breasted fashion on the front plus a button under either collar so that the neck could be closed - the neck bridge is still present, stored on the inside of the coat.  The overcoat is lined on the upper back only.  The back has a belt with three buttons and there is a button on the shoulders on either side of the neck securing the epaulettes.  This WW2 overcoat has the Workman Uniform label on it and the pocket is stamped “Workman Uniform Co. Ltd Montreal (1941) 9 5” - 11” / 40 - 42”.
