The officers' mess dress is is vey like a sherriffmuir, and looks wonderful in person. But I must agree with Kyle again: save your bucks and buy the real thing from a reputable dealer like Kinloch Anderson. I bought a Montrose years ago, and it still looks like a million bucks.
If you save the money, and buy well-made items from a reputable maker, and take good care of them, you'll have 'those items' (whatever they may be) for the rest of your life. It's a time honoured approach.
