I am going to start work on this costume, and am looking for fabric suggestions for the tunic-vest:

A friend who does a lot of sewing says it looks like gabardine.

I would say it is possibly gabardine, but maybe some type of wool blend. I made an officer vest and used a wool/felt blend.

If it's in keeping with the rest of the officer uniforms, I bet it's wool.

I used a wool blend...the color is pretty good but the weight of wool is not...too thin. It probably is 100% wool but I can't find a good color

If you're unhappy with the way the fabric is draping, maybe try a lining? That may help add a bit of structure depending on the fabric you use.
Also, there may be reference images in this folder you'd find useful:
