If you can find one, it would look good with a kilt, either left white or dyed a color to co-ordinate with your kilt
It seems and service of the UK and US has some form of Mess Dress. There are a lot of red and blue in the UK. USAF also has a black tux version. I shopped on e-bay fo one for a while, to compliment the kilt. Unfortunately, most soldiers are young, and trim. I am not, and couldn't find one in my size.
And you may ask yourself, Well how did I get here?
