[Uniforms] Federal usage of Gray Overcoats 1860-1865?

I am looking for documentation of the use of gray woolen overcoats / greatcoats by Federal/State/Union/Northern/Yankee regiments 1860-1865. I know there are several well known examples.

I am looking for these, and more to make sure I haven't missed any . . .

Please post with documentation on specific regiments, diary accounts, letters, QMD returns, any photos, extant originals (material, patterns, linings, buttons), etc. etc.

ANY PERIOD DOCUMENTATION is appreciated.
