greatcoat
Long heavy overcoat
A greatcoat is a long, heavy overcoat, typically of wool, worn for warmth in cold weather.
The term evokes military or formal styles from earlier centuries—double-breasted, often with a cape or shoulder flaps: He pulled his greatcoat tighter against the wind.
The word sounds old-fashioned now, largely replaced by overcoat.
