Does anyone know what the overcoat with the half cloak? over the sleeves (like what the police are waring on the cover of The Ultimate JTO Companion?}}

Dear James,

It is known to the poor wee Scottish folk as an "Inverness cape". Hope this is of assistance.
Rosey :-)

It is an overcoat though right? Or do the sleeves open to make a cloak?

James, It might be an Inverness cape but it loks more like a military great coat (Overcoat) From the looks, not much different than my Civil War era greatcoat. If so than the answer is the sleeves do not open to make a cloak. kindest regards, Neil
