Description
This two-piece United States Army service uniform dates to the World War I era and consists of a Model 1917 service coat and matching wool breeches. Both pieces are constructed from heavy-weight olive drab wool. The service coat features a stand-up collar, a five-button front closure, and four exterior patch pockets with button-down flaps. The two breast pockets are pleated, and the two lower bellows pockets are unpleated. The coat is fitted with a complete set of darkened brass shank buttons embossed with the Great Seal of the United States. The interior is partially lined with a tan-colored cotton or sateen fabric. The matching wool breeches feature a button fly, belt loops, and lace-up calf closures with metal eyelets and cord laces. The interior waistband and pocket bags are lined with white cotton duck fabric. The interior waistband of the breeches contains handwritten characters in dark ink, though they are currently faded and fragmentary.
