Army class A jacket with kilt

[MacLowlife]

May I suggest you consider THIS jacket, which is German army tropical tan?

Buy two of them and cut one of them down to either an Ike style or to more of an Argyll cut. Thompson's book shows conversion of a similar tunic. Save the second one in case of a disaster or a better styling idea. I recognize this is polyester and won't be quite as nice as actual USGI tropical wool, but I think it might give you something of a compromise between your desire to wear something with a military flair and your need to avoid violating the regs. By all means, change the buttons. Somebody else will have to advise about wearing medals and decorations.

What say ye?

For my nickel, I think khaki is perfect for a summer wedding.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, the whole thing has already been discussed with medals, ect. I don't want to wear mini medals on civilian clothes. The only way I personally will wear any medals is on Class A's. Can't mix class A top with kilt as discussed, so the compromise is full Class A uniform for ceremony. Then after that regular civilian clothes with kilt and absolutely nothing military on it for the rest of the day.

Whilst I respect your personal opinion, it should be pointed out that mini medals on mufti is very traditional for Highland rig and quite common in the Commonwealth, especially among service members who wear the kilt.
