While the Mess Dress jacket of the Marine Corps is cut high and could be worn with a kilt, any Marine doing so would be considered "out of uniform" as the kilt is not authorized for wear.
I know of no Marine who has worn his Mess Dress jacket with the kilt, other than to look longingly in a mirror.
Of course if you were to take all the rank insignia and buttons off, it would cease to me a Mess Dress jacket, and then it would be just another jacket. The colors would go nice with the Leatherneck tartan.
Retired people, like me, don't have this problem very much, because all of our service uniforms shrink rapidly when hung in the closet....
There is an unauthorized pipe band that wear a highly modified dress blue uniform, but they have no official standing in the Corps.
They have a web-site ..here..
