Antique Olive Green Tan Band Jacket MWA

Interesting garment I haven’t quite figured out yet (if you know something about it, please reach out!). From my best research and the advice of a local museum curator, I believe this is a band uniform from the Edwardian period Modern Woodmen of America, a long standing life insurance society. Someone else has suggested it may be created later, possibly 1910-1920, but again, I’m not certain. It is in perfect structural condition with some discolorations from age, see pics. If it is indeed what the museum curator says, it is over 100 years old! Even just the mystery of it is fascinating.

Marked as a men’s, it’s a slim cut with longer arms
