British Red Coat Uniform Fragment

I have been studying British military clothing textiles from extant garments, manufacturer's records and samples, and government specifications, and I am very confident this is not part of a British soldier's coat.

The bodies of these coats were made from Broadcloth, a plain weave, heavily milled woollen cloth their linings were serge, a twill fabric with worsted warp and woollen weft.

This cloth appears to be a cheap Kersey, a twill cloth with woollen warp and weft. Further it appears that the warp and weft are made from different coloured yarns. That is said to have been a technique used in some US Militia Coats supplied during the war of 1812.
