Is this a mod, military inspired suit?

I'm pretty sure this suit is early/mid 70s (has red & blue union label), but what to call it? Is it mod (those lapels fit), or military inspired--with the epaulets, double-breasted style, and trench look? Or is it a "Mod, Military-Inspired Plidi Trench Jacket Suit"? Trench jacket or coat is always a good term to use.... No maker's label, but is wool & poly blend. Has a large matching scarf, which, if I recall correctly, we just hung around our necks as I show it and didn't wrap around.

"Plidi": a new word meaning plaid pleated mini skirt...

Duh, my fingers can't type as fast as my mind works (or doesn't work, as the case may be...) I meant "plaid."

Carrie, I tried to find my old black "poor boy" turtleneck, because I do think that's what we tended to wear with these suits, but I couldn't find it. So, you think the red is OK?

And W(here)TH do I list this? Ruby Lane? eBay? My own site? Babylon Mall? I haven't listed 70's things in a while, and have no idea where they are hot right now. I don't have an Etsy store yet... maybe I have to open one???? I dunno....

That is my problem right now. Last night I ended up getting NOTHING done because I couldn't decide where things should go. I keep second guessing myself. I actually think that outfit would do well on Ruby Lane. I've sold a few mod items lately and just sold a similar pattern cape.
