British WWI Pattern 07 Enlisted Service Jacket

British WWI Pattern 07 Enlisted Service Jacket

Pattern 1907 khaki wool service dress jacket has five-button front closure with British general service buttons, "R.W.KENT" Royal West Kent Regiment metal shoulder titles on the epaulettes.  A pull or hole above each of these indicates that these titles were not the first insignia to be in place here.  The coat has the distinctive pre-1918 'double dart' construction feature under the collar.  Interior has drab cotton facings and lower pockets, with a faint laundry pen name on one of the pockets.  This shows light stains, wear and fading, with a sewn repair on the front face of the collar stand on one side.  There are a few small moth holes but nothing conspicuous or detractive.  A good British / Commonwealth P07 tunic.
