1940 dated sheepskin coat: Is this British?

[gary0003]

I have a 1940 dated sheepskin coat with various markings on, but one may be a rectangular stamp with W, arrow pointing up and then D. Did the British produce heavy sheepskin coats like this?.

Hi, that is a War Department stamp and I to would say that this is a Royal Navy jacket. Leon.
