Ulster and Affliction Is 'Ulster' the same as 'overcoats'? Why would it be an affliction to wear a man's long ulster? She wore a man's long ulster ( not as if it were an affliction, but as if it were very comfortable and belonged to her; carried it like a young soldier), and a round plush cap, tied down with a thick veil.

The long ulster is a type of coat,but the sentence is literary so a bit hard to explain.It suggests that the coat could be uncomfortable to wear (an affliction) but because she seems to have some emotional attachment to it,she finds it comfortable and wears it proudly "carried it like a young soldier".Of course it would help if I knew the context,the story and the character involved.
