It definitely doesn't seem to be a normal shell jacket I've ever seen. It has a button on the collar and what look like two pockets on each breast. I also notice on the left cuff it looks like the outline of a dark-looking trim. I also estimate 9-10 buttons on the front which seems normal.
Any ideas on what kind of jacket it is? My first assumption would be that it's some sort of pre-war militia jacket given that he has an 1851 Virginia state buckle and sword belt and what looks like other surplus weapons, but I have no idea. Any help appreciated. I made another post about this image so you can see why I'm sort of interested in it.
Here it is on the LOC and here is the highest definition link.
