First off, the tunic isn't felt, it's doe skin and it appears to be lined with silk; doe skin is the superfine wool used to make officer's tunics in the British army, and it is frightfully expensize. My guess is that the tunic (and associated leather gear) was made for the drum major of a pipe band sometime between 1890 and 1939 and in all likelihood dates to just before WWI.
