Hi all, now I have been lucky enough to be promoted into the old folks home I am on the look out for mess dress. Where is the best place to buy it from?
Cheers

Watch on ebay thats where I got mine and its fine!DT_Xtremez_30:
Me too. Get one about your size only slightly bigger, mine cost 70 quid (worn twice) but about 50 to get tailored
DT_Xtremez_42:. Better than about 350 spankers new. You'll probably only wear it about once or twice a year if you're lucky! (Unless you are a saddo like ILLBW (who will obviously attend every mess function in the look out for mates)) DT_Xtremez_17: . Oh and well done on your promo.Well you could be a real pikey and do what someone did up here...ask on your local "Freecycle" if anyone had one going !!
Crack on...................

Camps with big messes normally have some for sale, failing that give ACS at Halton a ring, they normally have a good selection.
Mine, second hand from a WO at High Wycombe that took his commission, 60 English pounds and might as well have been made for me!

Once your in the Mess check the 'Sales' book. It usually has a few in it. Congratulations on your promotion.

Why not post your measurements (ie waist, inside leg, chest) and we'll ask round for you.

If you are in RAF Lincolnshire Inch High then you could go the whole 9 yards and pop down to the tailors at Cranwell for the full ish...Made to measure, ranks tab and owt else, funny looking dress shirt, cumberbund and maybe even the fruit bat for your neck and they used to do a pretty good deal...and you could pay it in instalments interest free if you liked...
There were two on camp next door to each other on 'der East side' so you could stick your head in one and see what they offered then nip next door and play them off each other...

Thanks for the response folks, I am on a course down south at the moment but will be back up in Lincoln area in about 4 weeks. I am about 5ft6, so I am definately a short ass. Looking forward to my first mess bash though.

RAF Intranet Sales and Wants is also a good place I sold my old SNECs mess dress on there in about 2 days. If you are fortunate to get posted out to Cyprus. Then mine was £150 to buy tailored.
