Re: USMC Dress Blue Jacket To Sherrifmuir Doublet
If I could still wear my dress blues, my wife would probably be a lot friendlier.
It is indeed intended to be tailored tightly and worn by a thin man.
I would stongly counsel finding another source if only because it'll be less trouble and cheaper. When I see someone not a Marine wearing the uniform, I just chalk it up to ignorance and not a purposeful slight. And I would certainly not think you were slighting the Corps--our blessed, grand, and glorious Corps which is almost 235 years old!--but you'd have to do a lot of work to keep it from looking like a dress blue blouse. Otherwise Marines would spot it right off and tend to . . .well, scoffing would be nice.
Finding a generic police tunic might indeed work out the best and the least expensive. Keep us on mind when you take photos.

Freedom is not free, but the US Marine Corps will pay most of your share.
