Jack Russel Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I've just acquired this old coat, I think it dates from the George II period, does anyone know if it is a military jacket or a civilian coat. Is it English or continental , The buttons have sadly been removed so I would like to try and source the correct buttons if possible . would appreciate any suggestions , thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Not military but may be livery, ie: a servant's uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Russel Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thanks for your advice on my old coat, if it is a livery uniform then it will be virtually impossible to identify and find the correct buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Correct. If you have no story coming with the coat; I am afraid you will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Sadly that's the case: without provenance it could be one of many many things and, unlike military wear, there are no regulations nor lists by which to ID such items.
