There in lies the problem I wish to remove the top stripe (the one that identifies it as RN). this would leave me with the single bar that does denote my current rank. Although from what I've lifted so far it looks alright. I figure a mess jacket wouldn't actually see the light of day much luckily, so should fade much if at all.

Cool I can not wait to see it, as for the hole, you might just take it to a tailor to fix. As far as the buttons I'm not sure if I would switch them or leave them, I think that is your call.

I kinda like the buttons. Perhaps I shall wear it one time with rank and buttons and get opinions. As for the hole it looks like a cigarette burn, saves me from doing it (not than I'm lazy or anything). Honestly I don't think the hole can be fixed but will check it out.

Lookie what I found.....

Note that the Auxiliary bling is supposed to be silver, as opposed to gold for the Coast Guard. I bet anything you can buy silver or pewter CCGA buttons from somewhere.

'Tis true CCGA is silver as opposed to gold of the CCG, this mirrors the US in the same respects. My former rank in the auxiliary would be a silver bar and a half with maple leaf (deputy unit leader, stepped down to spend more time with the family ) I am still currently CCGA coxswain.



My own unit has our own rank structure and uniform and officers bars are in gold. I wear both uniforms but CCGA only on rare occasions.

It didn't mention any kilts in the guidelines did it?

There's a US Coast Guard tartan, is there one for the Canadian Coast Guard?

'cause if there isn't...*ahem*....I sense an opportunity, here.

No there is no tartan but there was a fella on Xmarks years ago (or friend of rabble) who was also CCG, he wore his kilt a couple of times onboard. Standing on the foredeck in an arctic gale, kilted. All those on the bridge with binoculars won't be asking you the 'question' later . I could go with any tartan I guess but stuck with my Maple Leaf for one photo op.
