I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but it's gorgeous.

Hello Susan.
There is a photograph (unfortunately black and white) of the back of a
jacket which looks like the one you are after.  If not it is a very similar
design. The picture is about 3" by 2" but shows the whole back well enough
to see the embroidery.
It is in "English Domestic Needlework" by Therle Hughes.  Published by Abbey
Fine Arts - this is the edition in Amazon.com -
http://www.amazon.com/English-Domestic-Needlework-Therle-Hughes/dp/B0016889B
2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252936574&sr=1-2
$14 including p+p.
