MESS JACKET FOR THE EAST KENT REGIMNETS

On the sketch opposite we give an outline of a Mess jacket for the East Kent Regiment. The various details are found as already described. All the points marked on this diagram agree with those marked on the other Mess jacket system. The shaping of the lapel is to a certain extent a matter of taste. If the diagram is followed in this particular the result will be satisfactory. The sleeve diagram given shows the style of cuff for this particular regiment. and illustrates the position of the pointed flap and buttons, etc. This being an exceptional style of Mess Jacket, I have pleasure in giving the following details. It is made of scarlet cloth and lined with scarlet silk or Italian, instead of the usual roll collar and step. The roll is covered with scarlet corded silk, having a broad rib the edges of the jacket are piped from the step of edges of the jacket to about 6 inches round the bottom. The outside collar is of buff cloth, and is not piped. The shoulder straps and cuffs are slashed; are also of buff cloth, and these are piped with white, same as the edge, showing about ¹⁄₈ inch wide, We specially direct the attention to the fact that the collar is not piped, whilst the shoulder straps, cuffs, and slashes are piped.

MESS JACKET FOR SCOTTISH HIGHLANDERS

This bears some resemblance to the former,as far as shape is concerned, and inasmuch as this jacket has to do the double duty, serving as a Drill as well as a Mess jacket, it has to be

adapted some-what. The collar is made to serve either as a stand collar for drill purposes, and to fall over for mess wear. It is made of scarlet cloth, with collar and pointed cuffs, or the regimental facings, edged all round with white cloth, ⅛ inch wide, ten buttons down the front, two above each cuff at back of sleeve, with shoulder cords, as worn on the doublet. In the Royal Highlanders, the jacket will have bluff silk lining, except for collar, which is dark blue, and no facing cloth on the inside. The point of cuff being arranged at the hack seam, in the Seaforth Highlanders. the jacket will be lined with red. and the inside of the collar of the garment on either side with crimson silk, instead of facing cloth. In the Cameron Highlanders, the jacket
