The greatcoat was reconstructed by using an old Dutch military greatcoat, as it proved a real challenge to find authentic fabrics of that period. The partisans used to produce their clothing in a similar manner – by disassembling old garments.

The parts of the disassembled greatcoat were sent to the restorers for filling in the buttonholes and pocket cuts. After restoring the fabric, a new greatcoat corresponding to the historical period of Lithuania was sewn. This QH officer’s greatcoat with raspberry-colored trims was reconstructed based on a 1934 drawing by Albertas Barauskas.
