Saw this labeled great coat. Has period buttons. But there mismatched which can mean someone played surgeon.

I saw the excelsior button but with the other buttons it's easy to be skeptical.

 

True, but with that color coat with red underlying lining, it has a "New York" look to it. Late 19th Century would seem to make sense. Could be some sort of school coat too. Without an original set of unaltered buttons on it, difficult to tell.

VMI uses a cadet gray overcoat with a red-lined cape. It's hard to see details of this coat from the photos but that's a possibility you could look into.
