The body of this jacket is in excellent condition. There is no visible moth damage and only small amounts of wear. Shoulders have light surface dirt from storage. Though the body and lining of the jacket are original all the yellow piping was replaced by a costume company sometime in the 1880’s. Both pillows are also missing off the back but there is no sign of them ever having been present. Most of the buttons are tin backed and have been reapplied. Buttonholes also show wear. Cuffs are functional. All exterior seams are tight.

Interior is lined with a brown wool material. There is a vertical breast pocket along the left edge of the liner seam. Liner shows moderate to heavy wear in the right body and shoulder area. The right body has a poorly sewn repair and there are stress separations in the shoulder. The left arm pit has some stress separations and the left body also has a poorly sewn repair or alteration. Sleeve linings appear to be the original. The right sleeve lining has three dots and a worn size number “3.” There is also a blurred and unreadable inspector’s mark. There also appears to be a faint name.

Stamped in two places in the back are “UCI” in a square over “SIZE 40.”  [ad]
