Civilian Mess Jackets

[CMcG]

Nothing like a THCD thread to get the rabble going, eh?

For those still interested in a white mess jacket with the kilt, I found another picture from Down Under. This is from the so-called "Principality of Hutt River" and is still technically military dress... civilian mess jackets seem to be hard to find Note the cummerbund again!

Minus all the fantasy military gubbins (and the silly cummerbund) this is pretty much what SSR should look like. (The top of the cummerbund, by the way, comes to where the top of his kilt should be.)

Actually, white military mess jackets are easy to find (ebay, criagslist, Marlow-White) and once the military bits are removed, they become civilian mess jackets. Marlow-White (www.marlowwhite.com) will provide mess jackets with or without military trim. Military sizes run tight, so you may want to speak with them before placing your order.
