Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful example of a Pre-WWII junior officer’s Evening Dress A uniform coat. It shows signs of moderate wear and is very ornately designed! The interior pocket label is named to a Lieutenant, but it is rather difficult to read but it appears to be Lt. Chris S. Baker, though our search results came up nil, making this a wonderful research opportunity!

Evening dress "A" For male officers, it consists of an evening coat with sleeve ornamentation, strip collar, white waistcoat, and white shirt with piqué bib. The stripe on the midnight-blue trousers is a thin red stripe inside a gold embroidered stripe. Female officers wear a mess jacket with scarlet collar, a white dress shirt, a red cummerbund, and a long skirt. Miniature medals and badges are worn.

Evening dress "B" is identical to Evening Dress "A" except men wear a scarlet waistcoat (general officers) or cummerbund (all other officers), and women may wear a short skirt. Miniature medals and badges are worn.

SNCO Evening Dress Male staff non-commissioned officers wear a semi-formfitting mess jacket with a black bow tie and sky blue trousers. Female SNCOs wear identically the same Evening Dress as female officers, minus the sleeve ornamentation and placement of rank. Both wear the jackets with historic 1890s-era rank insignia sewn on the sleeves. Miniature medals and badges are worn.

A blue boatcloak with a scarlet liner is optional. Junior officers not required to possess Evening Dress may substitute Blue or Blue-White dress "A". It is appropriate for such occasions as state functions, inaugural receptions and dinners, and formal dinners.

This is a wonderful uniform set in great condition. Nothing beats the regular enlisted Marine Dress Blues but the Evening Dress is a close runner up! All buttons but one appear to be present and as this is an evening dress they are purely ornamental. There is some fading present on all the bullion but there is no significant damage present on the exterior but there is stitching loss on the interior red lining.

This is a wonderful addition to any military uniform collection! Comes more than ready to be further research and displayed. Semper Fidelis Marines!

Great Coat, have steamer ready
Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small
Great jacket for the money!!4 stars because the jacket came very wrinkly and was difficult to get the wrinkles out. Fit well, my son felt that the sleeves were a bit too long but I think they looked great. The material was nice & durable, as long as he does not out grow it will be able to be used again

Ok jacket that’s good for the money.
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
This obviously isn’t a tailored suit but, it looks good, fits ok, and serves its purpose. It’s cheap enough to overlook any shortcomings but, for the price? Yeah, it’s worth it. How long will it last? Time will tell but I’ll only wear it occasionally so it should last a while.

For the price, it’s nice
Color: Black, Size: Medium
For the price, this is a really nice jacket. But, for double the price, I bought one at the department store, and it’s way nicer. Would I buy this again? Probably not. Bought a medium, fits like a 38R. I’m 5’9” 175 lbs. slightly snug, but I’m losing weight.

Great suit jacket
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
We bought this for my son’s school dance and his confirmation. They matched his suit pants that we purchased from a department store and the jacket fit perfectly, running true to size.

Decent
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Smells strange, assuming its the dye. Good fit, although the arms are quite long. Also had some strange stitch going across the left breast area that seemed like a mistake and was an eye sore. Good value overall for a quick put together suit.
