I would like to get the vest for the Blue Mess dress and would you be able to provide a picture as to what it looks like?
Question by: Andy on Nov 20, 2025, 3:25 PM
Unfortunately, we only carry the Jacket, tuxedo shirt, and high-rise trousers.
You may need to reach out to a tailor to have a vest custom made.

I am currently branch Armor, and next year will transition to MP. How difficult is it to change out the lapels and sleeve adornments from yellow to green? Or do I have to purchase an entirely new jacket?

I got promoted, do you have instructions to share with a local tailor to change out the rank on officer mess dress? I purchased silver MW rank at the next grade, and have it on hand. I just want to make sure a local tailor (in NJ) doesn't screw it up! Thank you!
Question by: Ben Hartig on Mar 28, 2026, 10:32 AM
Yes — we recommend that the rank be hand tacked on using clear thread (similar to fishing line). The tailor should carefully tack the rank around the outer edges only, and be very careful not to stitch through or catch the bullion threading, as this can damage the rank and cause it to lose its shape and finish.
Key instructions for your tailor:
Remove the existing rank carefully without damaging the sleeve braid or fabric.
Position the new rank in the exact same placement.
Use clear monofilament thread (fishing line style).
Hand tack around the edges only — do not sew through the center.
Do not catch the bullion embroidery when stitching.
Light, small tacks spaced around the edge will hold it securely.
Most experienced tailors can do this easily as long as they know not to machine sew and not to stitch through the bullion.
If they have any questions, they are welcome to contact us.
