Interesting jacket, definitely has a 20s look to my eyes.
(at guttersnipes link, Eden is wearing one)
Everything else - all the top/prick stitching and shorter main seams etc - are wonky enough to suggest hand work.
i've never heard (two buttons that fasten) jackets referred to as 'paddock cut' in any vintage British catalogues / literature.
I struggle with this paddock coat difference as well.i've never heard (two buttons that fasten) jackets referred to as 'paddock cut' in any vintage British catalogues / literature.
i don't see how this is any different from a standard two button:
Q, what's your opinion on the date of Baron's jacket ?

For instance, here's a photo of the Kennedy brothers. Supposedly JFK(right) is wearing a paddock coat. Maybe I'm blind but I see no difference between his jacket and his brothers
I thought 20s when I first saw the pictures, but I'm unsure. The arm lining looked off at first, but that might not be significant, as it seems to have been relined at some point. The extended facing points to an earlier date.
Fastuni, does your German source use the word "Paddock"?
