The belted jacket is called a Norfolk jacket style. It became popular as a sporting (hunting, fishing, golf, etc.) jacket in around the 1860's and remained popular right into the 1950's and even 1960's for causal country wear.
My mom (who graduated HS in 1930) told of when she dressed in her brother's clothes and went to school. She was reprimanded by the yard teacher for talking to the girls! THEN they found out that she was a girl in boys' clothing. She was suspended for a week!
Makes us wonder if the senior center occupant was one of these gals!? If so, and it was the 20's, then she is long gone over the Rainbow. Sad - that living memory is gone now.
