The jacket is made from coarse, dark, field grey wool that is accented with Cavalry yellow wool felt. The jacket features Polish style cuffs, and all of the silver buttons are present(with the exception of one in the back), but they are hollow backed and not maker marked.
The jacket has a hook and loop alternating front closure with one broken hook. The jacket was made for a slip on type shoulder board that is not present. The Mandarin collar is tall and stiff.
The jacket shows soiling, age, patina, wear, dirt, and slight surface moth tracking. The back of the right cuff shows serious wear damage. On the back, one of the silver buttons is missing, this should be fairly easy to replace. Overall, this jacket is in excellent condition, considering its age.

There is heavy wear at the collar and some seam separation at the armpit. There is a faint handwritten number 4 on the burlap. There are no other markings.
