help wanted for value and background on early 1960 overseas tour of duty jacket

[LIBBY1957DOG]

bought this jacket from a ex service man many years ago ,if i remember correctly he said he and his buddies had them made out in the east while on a tour of duty ,said he had treasured it and worn it proudly for many years but recently it was causing a adverse reaction when he wore it out ,this was as best as i can remember the early 2000s , not sure if this was political or just down to knobheads mocking a older guy with a satin jacket on ,anyway long story short ,it was way too small for me but i always had a fondness for vintage stuff ,i didnt need the money but he sure looked like he did so i bought it ,
flash forward and my daughter has now decided its a cool retro item and has designs on it
i love her to bits , it goes with out saying but ,how can i put this "she's heavy on clothing on a night out" ,drinking smoking and crowds ,and delicate 54 year old clothing don't really mix
so im looking for a bit more info as to its history,tradition and possible value before turning it loose to the not so tender mercies of the saturday night crowd ,i can alway buy her a repro modern lookalikee one if needs be ,i know its a long shot but thought it worth the ask

thanks to all or any that can help cheers

There are many websites online you can try. Asking on this board won't get you far. I would definitely not let your daughter have it though.
