I'm looking for a bit of info regarding the colour of U-boat Captains leather coats.I believe there is more than one colour they used.

It depends on which kind of U-boat leather coat you are talking about. The smaller jackets came in gray or dark brown/black. The larger coat came in gray.

Nice one Ray ..that's the one I had I front of me as well

Wear and the conditions obviously affected the coats

Looking forward to seeing what your brushes come up with
