This is the Bulgarian People's Army Officer greatcoat. Featuring more detailed buttons and a double breasted closure, it subtly sets itself apart from the standard infantryman. 

It is made of a pure wool, lightly processed as to retain the waterproofing of the lanolin. While not the softest wool, it is certainly a thick and durable one made for cold Eastern winters. Being general issue, greatcoats such as this one were common place across both the army and air force, with just a variety of colours denoting the different branches of service.
