    I have a connection to the Coast Guard and the Navy so I will be looking at this one.

    Lighthouse Uniform has been good to me in the past on uniform shirts for the local SAMS post.

    That is one very nice-looking jacket. Well done!

    Just one minor point though (Oh, here he goes again!!). Since you are not wearing a waistcoat - possibly they do not come with these jackets - your appearance could just be completed if you were to wear a Dress Belt with a rectangular 'plate' buckle. A belt would not, of course, be worn with a waistcoat.

    Is that a nice TFCK kilt I see there, by the way? I suspect it is.

    To the knowledge, these mess dress jackets are always worn with a cumberbund in the US military, so no waistcoat is available. Someone with more recent experience could answer better than me. As a civilian kilt jacket (without all the military decorations), a nice kilt belt and buckle would look best.

    Thanks for the Marlow White link Dave,

    They have Ike jackets under the police section too, they look good with kilts for less formal occasions.

    I like the military mess dress jackets, but I plan to get a Brian Boru jacket for formal wear. It has similar styling, but comes in black, instead of just blue and white like the military jackets. Now, if I ever decide to get a white jacket for tropical evening wear (you know, cruises and such) then I may look at the white mess jacket.

    Oh my, so many things on the wish list!
