For sale are two (3) Virginia Military Institute (V. M.I.) ROTC Cadet uniform pieces (2 coats), the hat is questionable as being part of the uniform. I can't find any information as to the hats origin. The 3 pieces were acquired together.

1. The dress uniform coat and;

2. The other is the uniform red lined caped overcoat.

3. I don't know where the hat (size 7-1/8) originates from.

I believe the era of the coat is 1950s. The left sleeve says "U. S. ROTC. The coat has old cleaners tags pinned on it. There is a tag on the inside of the Caped Overcoat that says Shenandoah Tailoring Co. Inc. Mt. Sidney, VA. All wool except ornamentation. It appears to have a name on the tag MR. J. F. Wolfe and a date 1-26-1951. On the sleeve there is a paper tag stapled that reads Wolfe J. C. It is in very good condition with the exception of the black lining in the caped overcoat has come apart on the inside left. About 14 inches the lining is detached (not torn or damaged) (needs to be stitched); The bottom of each coat has raw him as I suppose was customary during this era . The back of the coat has a button seam that needs reinforcing. Two (2) brass buttons are missing on the cape. I have the the two buttons. The buttons read “CADET BIG SEMPER TRANNIE V. M.I.” All flaws are noted as far as I can examine.
