It's called a Boat Cloak™

I wonder what the prerequisites for that shit was/is. I saw the evening dress half jackets with the mini medals and I think that's just a Staff thing if they want to pay the ridiculous price for it.

MFW it's like the tanker jacket and a Lcpl shows up to the ball in a cape.

I've seen just one time where that cape wasn't douchey, and it was on a Cav officer who was also carrying his saber. And it looked bad-ass.
But yeah, the colors need more subtlety.

It's called "Mess Dress". It's a protocol thing. Look into the difference between Black Tie and White Tie and learn about how gentlemen are supposed to dress.

Not him and I actually have already looked into black tie vs. white tie because I just had some suits cut, but are those seriously meant for white tie events? I mean there's few who would ever even get to attend a white tie event in the whole US much less the military. Why bother with the enlisted versions? MoH recipients?
