I think that's a knitted sweater. I also think he's a double amputee.
The former is a bit hard to judge. I've never seen a period fabric with that look, although it would be easy enough with knitting. The lapels puzzle me a bit, although I've seen shawl-collared sweaters.
He seems to have recovered from his physical wounds, but he's got a tough road ahead of him.

Hmm...I wonder if you could find this image on the Library of Congress website? They always have these huge resolution images. I hope it's a knitted sweater! :)
It's not there; I looked. They do have one of the right side of the image, but the left was cropped out.
