Regular Member Formal Uniform
The Formal Uniform will consist of the Basic Cover, as with all other uniforms.
The Chapel of Four Chaplains medal may be worn with this uniform, as an
option and the Marine Corps League Blazer Crest or Bullion Seal is optional
when miniature medals are worn.
Shirt: The shirt will be a formal pleated shirt, with a standard collar and no
ruffles. The tie will be a black, military, bow tie. The shirt will have gold cuff links
and gold studs.
Jacket/Blazer:The red mess jacket is worn with this uniform [as seen at right],
but the red blazer may be worn as an option, due to the high cost of the red
mess jacket, which is ordered through an outside clothier. If the red mess jacket
is worn, it will be a medium weight gabardine material with Marine Corps League
buttons, a gold waist chain and the Sunburst Insignia in locating holes in the
jacket collar. The buttons are sewn on, three to a sleeve and three on either
side of the waist. A gold cummerbund or gold vest front is to be worn with this
uniform. They are both sold through the Ships Store and the Marine Shop.
Trousers/Pants:Black tuxedo pants are worn with this uniform, but black
trousers are an accepted option. The belt and buckle can be either of the belts
worn with the Casual Uniform. Shoes and socks are the same as the Casual
Uniform.
Medals: When wearing the red mess jacket, large medals may be worn as
prescribed in enclosure 3 and illustrated in the section for "medals, ribbons and
badges." When wearing the red blazer, miniature medals are authorized.
However, large medals are not.
