Eton Jacket modification Status

[ccga3359]

I'm currently bidding an a RN mess jacket. I believe it is double breasted and I actully considering leaving thus. Being a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary I figure why not. I do not know if I shall remove both rank bars or just the top one as my own rank I wear one gold shoulder bar. I will probably switch out the gold button to black. Suggestions?

Looks like it would work well for formal wear with a kilt. The only problem may be the size. Mess jackets are usually tailored to the owner. So, its dimensions may not be the same as a standard jacket.

Ok, so are there any pics of the back of a Prince Charlie jacket. The front looks like an fairly easy mod. What's the back look like?

Not the best photo - but should give you an idea of the back.

Here is the back of my PC I just shot it it's a little dark and not centered but you can see the placement of the buttons etc.

I'd keep it double-breasted, and I'd keep gold buttons, perhaps USCG. As long as you're keeping the bar, why not add a shield, too?

I'm guessing Grant will probably go for the Canadian Coast Guard buttons if he keeps the service insignia.
