You might check out the Louisville Fire & Rescue Pipes & Drums at: http://www.lfrbagpipes.org/
Their uniform is a white s/s shirt w/department patch and tartan epaulettes (actual service members wear their badge as well?), red kilt pleated to the stripe (custom tartan??), white horsehair sporran w/ 2 black tassels, black hose tops, red flashes for the pipers - gold for the drummers, & white spats. They top it all off with a red & white diced Glengarry (w/ red toorie & red hackle) for the pipers or a red & white diced Balmoral (w/ red toorie & red hackle) for the drummers.
In colder weather, I've seen them wear long sleeves (still a white shirt) and a military-style black sweater, with the department patches and tartan epaulettes.
I've never seen them wear ties or tunics, or any other kind of jacket.
Their Drum Major (when he's there) wears a pith helmet ith: rather than a feather bonnet.
