This dress jacket was made and tailored by Brook's Uniform Company, a firm responsible for outfitting thousands of sailors. Jackets like this one were worn for ceremonial and formal events and would've been the prized piece in a sailor's wardrobe. The jacket has some beautiful patches that tell quite a story. The one sleeve shows us the previous owner made it up to the rank of Chief Petty Officer, showing their dedication to a career in the Navy and learning to be the ship's carpenter, shown on the sleeve as two crossed axes. Further down we can see a red service stripe, showing 4 years of active duty, finally a "ruptured duck" honourable discharge patch, showing quite a remarkable life in service. For practical features the jacket has 2 front pockets and 2 internal ones for storing smaller items. The jacket is double breasted and features beautifully contrasting golden buttons, all engraved. It is a solid dark navy, bordering black jacket and is made from an all wool material with a sateen lining. A really fantastic piece for any collector.
