[Rico]

I always get into trouble when I guess ... is it French, Napoleonic era?

 

[Facman]

is it French, Napoleonic era?

The design certainly originated in that era, but it is not of that era nor did a Frenchman wear it.

 

[Bootie]

Is it a ceremonial jacket from the USMC?

 

[Facman]

Is it a ceremonial jacket from the USMC?

Nope, but an excellent guess.

The question is not about the jacket itself, but who wore it.

 

[Vartuoosi]

Stephen Decatur

 

[Facman]

Stephen didn't...

 

[Nort]

Paul McCartney ... Sgt. Pepper.

 

[Facman]

Sgt. Pepper

Sgt Nope...

 

[Rambler]

Is it your jacket?

 

[Nort]

Yeah Jody. But it is how your mind works.

Michael Jackson?

 

[Facman]

Is it your jacket?

I wish it were...

it is how your mind works.
Michael Jackson?

Aye, that it is...but still no Jack...

 

[Rico]

Ok, so it's American, design from Napoleonic era but worn later ... so obviously ceremonial ... nailing period down would help with ID-ing wearer/owner.

 

[Bootie]

Patton?
