Naval Coat identification needed?
Can anyone identify this Dark navy blue/black woolen coat? It is labeled "Naval Clothing Factory" On the inside right front. It seems to be a double breasted coat and can be worn "unisex": IE buttoned as a man would button; right lapel over left or changeable to how a woman buttons, right over left. I suspect it is a WW1 naval coat. It may have had the buttons replaced. Thanks for any help

It is a Naval Officers pea coat. I highly doubt it is from WW1 as it is in pretty gokd shape. They haven't really changed the design much in 200 years though so its hard to say.
