A "Crusher" is neither an officer's visor hat, or an enlisted man's hat.
It looks similar but is a purpose-built, crush-able cap.
Enlisted visor caps were made of wool similar to the enlisted uniforms,
Officer caps were nicer in cloth, materials and finish.

Of course, you'll be needing a...
A true trench coat is DB and should have "storm flaps" at both sides because a DB CAN be buttoned to either side. A well thought out SB "raincoat" should have
a storm flap at the closing side.
A ladies' trench/raincoat would possibly have other feminine details, such as waist suppression...
It would need a "friction" buckle, rather than a prong/tang buckle,
as there are no holes. Take the prong off a leather covered buckle and
might be OK.
