Here are some more pictures, they clearly show the jacket is well worn.

Hello I think this jacket might belong to the poet Jan Michal Maria Rostworowski (Polish nobility)- 10.09.1919 - 14.11.1975, son of Charles Hubert Rostworowski the playwright. Jan lived in the UK from 1940 until 1968. You could try contacting his children to ask if they know anything more about this ? Carolyn
Should have added this to my last message. On the Imperial War Museum site, there is a photo of the street sign for Brass & Pike SAVILE ROW: TAILORING AT HENRY POOLE & CO., LONDON, ENGLAND, UK, 1944 (D 21866)
I quote : "A woman walks down Savile Row, past the space left where houses once stood, before they were destroyed in an air raid. The site is now home to an emergency water tank, hidden behind the wall. Clearly visible are two boards advising customers of the new addresses of 'Capener and Sibley Ltd.', (now at new premises in Clifford Street), and 'Brass and Pike Tailors Ltd.' (now at 22 Hanover Street)."
