navy mess jacket

[Biathlonman]

I've just ordered a mess jacket from Mckenzie Frain. Rifle green, plain buttons. Find the style an interesting and valid alternative to "Prince Charlie" jacket. 40 years since I was in army. To those who opine that civilians ought not to wear military styling...Are all civilian pipe bands wrongly dressed?

Looked up what you have on order from Mckenzie Frain. Quite a website, and if your mess jacket looks half as good as the photo, you're going knock 'em dead. Ladies should just take a number and stand in line.

Remember that the British military preserved highland dress for nearly 40 years while the civilian tartan was proscribed, so military styling is OK in my book.
