I don't know if this has ever cropped up before,but I thought I'd bring up this topic anyway.We know highlanders dress in feather bonnets,scarlet doublets,hair sporrans and white spats on ceremonial occasions,bur there are other mess dress uniforms that look good/
Victoria Rifles of Canada(now defunct)-my buddy John Donahue joined his dad's old regiment and I was impressed when he showed up at Air Cadets which he had left,wearing this dark green uniform with a tassle on the front of his dark service cap with a black dress belt and black buttons.Impressive.
-Another was my ex Air Force piper,now Lt.Thibault,on his way now to Afghanistan,wearing the dark blue 17th Duke of Yorks uniform with silver chain mail on the shoulders plus spurs
-another is the Royal 22nd(Van Doos) scarlet doublet and white broad brimmed pith helmet.
