    Is this jacket military surplus?

    Hi from Atlanta. I got this jacket at an Army/Navy store that carries uniform items, current and outdated, from the U.S. and other countries. I'll use it as a tough raincoat, and it said "BRITISH" on the store tag. Is it military issue? And if so, from where?

    In the pocket was a receipt printed with the word "Barnado's" (a UKicon charity).

    Can't find any pictures of it. It has the epaulette loop thingies on the shoulders, and it's pretty heavy duty. Darker green than the U.S. olive drab. Any input much appreciated.
    Here's some pictures of it: https://imgur.com/a/xx5fr

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Question

    I would be inclined to say it is a civilian jacket based on the tag, but?
