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!

Beautiful for decor, not great for anything with heft.

They are easy to install and exactly as pictured. I find them to be lovely and uniform, and they can't with proper instructions and even extra pieces. I took away a star because they are described as "heavy duty" use, but the dowels used to mount the shelves are flimsy. Mine are mounted on combo of studs and drywall, the plates are secure and not going anywhere. The problem is the dowels themselves that fit into the corresponding holes of the shelf: they bend easily. I put three books and bookends on one shelf and watched it tip down. I did attach the bottom screws into the dowels I secure the shelf to the mounting brackets, but that's not going to save any items from sliding off as it bends down over time. I pulled the books immediately and decided to use these for decor only rather than any practical use. The stock photo suggesting lining these shelves with glass jars filled with flour, rice, and lentils is a terrible idea.
