Hi! Posting this for my son-in-law. Any input on this jacket would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Post Civil War— maker was not a civil War manufacturer.

Buttons are not military.

I just found the same buttons on ebay. They're Knights of Pythias "Lily Rank". Whereas the coat has these buttons, I think it's safe to assume it's a K. of P. ceremonial coat. Thanks for your input!!! I guess I answered my own question!!!

Makes sense — pettibone did make a lot of fraternal wear in the late 19th- early 20th century.
