About MeNavy doeskin wool cloth tailcoat heavily embellished with braid and epaulettes.

The jacket was worn in the 1930s by Instructor Commander Alan Edwards OBE. It is a good example of the kind of uniform worn by upper ranking officers in the armed services. Dress uniforms in particular do tend to have more embellishment, as they are worn on ceremonial occasions.
