It's a nice little jacket , it is socalled "Ottoman". If I can see a close up Photo of the embroidery I can tell you a little more about it. This type of jacket was traditional folks wear and was worn by both men and women.It was a fashion that was spread trough many countries. It could be Turkish,Serbian,Bulgarian,Hungary,Greek Albanian Palestinian etc. There are differences in the embroidery from country to country.This was worn by both Muslims and Christians. In Turkey this jacket is called a Cepken.It is pronoused Djepken. Prices lie between 30$ to 800$ depending of age and quality of Embroidery.Men wore a Vest called a Yelek Shalwars(Pants) and this Jacket called Cepken. Women wore a Kaftan or dress and then this Jacket or waistcoat over. This type of clothes became very fashionable in all parts of Europe and America between 1850and 1900 , when Artists traveled to the Middle East to seek inspiration for their Orientalist motifs. And returned dressed upp in Turbans and embroidered outfits. In Serbia and Albania and Greece where men didn't wear Shalwars but a short dress, they would wear Legprotectors which were finely embroidered. There are a few who know how to make this kind of embroidery still and it is used for Folk Dance costumes forinstance in Albania. It is nolonger made in Turkey . But I have seen that in Morocco they developed a mashine which can make this kind of overlaid embroidery on f.ex Kaftans, which still are worn and loved in all the muslim counties.

Re: Jacket
The jacket appears to be Turkish perhaps from the 1920s at the end of the Ottoman Empire
