Entirely hand-stitched Naval captain’s morning coat made of kerseymere. Single-breasted. Heavy silver foliate 1.5” wide braid trim on standing collar, cuffs, and dummy pocket flaps. 2-piece gilt brass buttons (R. & W. Robinson Extra-Rich), with a design of an eagle astride a foul anchor, surrounded by 13 stars. 4 large ones on the cuff close together. 3 small ones along the cuff slit. 10 large ones 2” apart on the front opening and 4 along each rear pleat (1 at top and bottom, 2 in center). 1 small button on the collar at each side to secure epaulets (not present). 4 large buttons beneath each pocket flap. Side and dropped waist seams. Body back and sleeves lined with white silk, rest lined fully with thin white chamois. Heavily padded chest and collar. Slender sleeves. Sloped shoulder. Pockets inside. Rounded front edge and tails. If nothing else, the linings and the use of 4 Navy buttons on the cuff and pocket flap corroborate the captain’s rank, at least according to 1852 specs and earlier.
