[Jock Scot]

As a son of a Rear Admiral RN,I could say no other than remove all the buttons and the rank insignia.My father had a saying that" there is the right way to do things and there is the wrong way of doing things and then there is the Royal Navy's way of doing things!"

Having said that ,he wore one of his mess jackets,converted with silver buttons etc.,as evening wear,with the kilt, for many many years.It looked great.
