Main moth points are on the epaulettes, which are slightly sunbleached due to long term storage as well. Some wear to the inner armpit lining but nothing major.

While the exact date is unknown to us, the buttons with 2 star filler marks and Gieve's Ltd stamp place it after 1916 and as a likely wartime piece due to these fillers which helped increase production. At the very latest it would be an early interwar piece. The coat itself is of course made of an excellent wool, used for ceremonial occasions it is a stunning piece. The cuffs and shoulder epaulettes feature bullion thread work displaying the insignia of a Lieutenant Commander.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- - - - - - -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLooking for more British Items?
