What a great coat. I have not seen one with embroidery before, they are usually just signed with pens, etc. This one is super nice.
Hope you have good luck with this interesting item! I gotta wonder about "The Nose".....would be fun to see what that one looked like and hear how they came to be called......."The Nose"!!!!
I just remembered a cool 1940s plaster plaque I sold a long time ago: Not an autograph coat but it shows the trend.
