British Made Overcoat

British Made Overcoat

Original British made WWI US shawled overcoat with aviation officers insignia applied. The open shawl collar indicates British manufacture even though there is no makers tag present. The overcoat is made of pressed wool and does not have officer cuff braids, indicating the overcoat is for enlisted and not officer. Two pockets are sewn onto the front and are a mismatch in color to the rest of the jacket.
