I second Macman's opinion..
I am in the process of putting together a No.1 dress for my Fire Dept honor guard, and at first they were all about just a button down shirt/tie, and a kilt. till we went to Colorado Springs for the Fallen Firefighter Memorial and got to see first hand how awesome the "whole 9 yards" looks and then told me to find out the costs. I just turned it in last week, and they were surprised at how inexpensive I found everything ($1,600 from head to toe)
I thought they were crazy ....till I found out our honor guard uniforms cost upwards of 2K. now I see why they were happy lol
good luck, and wear it proudly!
