Rob,
Fantastic sercice Dress Jacket. these were patterned sealed as under Nomenclature "Simplified" in~Dec 1914. This was amongst a series of uniform simplifications which included SD trousers, KD Frocks, Great Coats etc.
They were actually superceded in june 1915 by pattern 8407/1915, which resembled the pre-war jackets with a slightly modified Lining piece behind the Breats pocket on the inside of the jacket.
Production of these Simplified Jackets was from 1914 through summer of 1915.
Is the lining piece behind your Breast pocket a single strip of cloth or only at the edges? (reinforcing the corners of the breast pocket flap like ?:
