Check out this image - can anyone provide any insight? Supposed VA Confederate....

Interesting the lined texture of the coat. That's not standard issue for sure. Any thoughts, observations, or opinions greatly appreciated.
 
Sorry....somehow it didn't post before.

Appears to be a knit ribbed material of sorts... could be an overshirt or maybe even a sweater... not a uniform coat or sack. The buttons have been hand tinted by the photographer, so may or may not actually be brass. Nothing else present I can see such as weapons, leathers, canteens, waist belt, kepi or anything at all that would clue in that this could be a military related image... Otherwise at face value appears to be a civilian wearing a fancy trimmed sweater....
