Hi Jon,
Forgot to mention.....if you are a card carrying "actor" good or bad and you dressed up it would not be considered reenacting....you would be considered a "thesbian".....(now watch the comments fly ROTFLMAO) and it would be acting vice reenacting...even if it is a one-man-show cheers mike

Thesbian ? did you mean thespian? Am I missing a nuance here, or am I subject to a baldy haired guy's mis-spelling?
Man, am I having misgivings about posting this thread. Great riposte, but little serious input. Mike: I tend to agree with your viewpoint about enhancement of a display. What I guess I'm really concerned about is that monochrome cbt + FN + webbing + Jeep might be too close to recent CF dress/equipment, that some might feel affronted. Clive, just read your post. Thanks. I feel that we're on the same wavelength avec your thoughts.

what to wear to a formal...
Jon,
As Clive suggests....and as I do....I always bring all kinds of kit to the show and shines....it ALL stays in or on the vehilce on display. What is really cool is when all the Corvette, Duece Coup, and other car owners come over and say in good natured jest "how come all the viewers take pics of your dirty (it adds to the theme) little jeep and not our cars" "Ah because every guy was a kid once who played "war games"....and todays kids are far more knowledgeable about weapons systems that I was when I was a kid. That is because of video games.....nothing like some 9 year old asking you if you have a Garand and the father says "whats a Garand?" cheers myke

Mark: According to one of your previous posts, my oath would have been to Caesar and the Republic.
SPQR. Sorry, Mike...I seem to cross post when other posts are coming in. Doesn't help with the continuity...but then, that's a theatrical thespian's concern, isn't it?

Jon, with three CDs under your belt, I think you're entitled to wear whatever uniform you choose, and if anyone's going to give you an argument about that, I'll stand beside you.

A little enhancement
This one's for all the Canadians in the crowds here. There's a number of them who winter in Arizona and the kit gives them a little something from home.
Best regards, Jim

Out here in the west we have a kind of unwritten rule that you don't wear the uniform of a person who held a Queen's commission (in Jon's case an Emperor's commission). Everything else is fair game as long as it is not a current serving uniform. Once a uniform becomes obsolete it is merely a costume.
Whether or not it might offend someone, you'd be surprised at how the eyes light up when some of these vets see the old uniforms they served in.

Costume!!!
Bruce, clowns wear costumes, old or new a uniform is a uniform and wearing it represents the profession of arms for the particular period. To refer a uniform as a costume is not only an insult to those who once wore the uniform but opens the door for those who lack the knownledge or respect to wear them any way they please.
I would much rather see the vehicle owner wearing jeans and T shirt with his/her restored vehicle rather then sporting a uniform that they have no idea how to wear or are too old and out of shape to even look the part of a serving soldier. I am approaching the second clasp to my CD and all that entitles me to wear is DEUs and CADPAT, as far as I am concerned that decoration gives me no special status to wear whatever old uniform I want.
