Mess dress uniform is the semi-formal type of uniforms used by military, police, fire and other public uniformed services for certain ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations, in messes or on private occasions. It frequently consists of a mess jacket, trousers, white dress shirt, often with standing collar and bow tie, along with orders and medals insignia. Design may depend on regiment or service branch, e.g. army, navy, air force, marines, etc. In Western dress codes, mess dress uniform is a permitted supplementary alternative equivalent to the civilian black tie for evening wear or black lounge suit for day wear - sometimes collectively called half dress - although military uniforms are the same for day and evening wear. As such, mess dress uniform is considered less formal than full dress uniform, but more formal than service dress uniform.

Prior to World War II, this style of military uniform was largely restricted to the British and United States Armed Forces, although the French, German, Swedish and other navies had adopted their own versions of mess dress during the late 19th century, influenced by the British Royal Navy.

While mess dress uniform is predominantly worn at occations by commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers, it may also be worn as an optional uniform by some senior enlisted personnel. It is also sometimes worn by members of royal courts or certain civilian uniformed services.

Miniature medals are suspended on ribbons one half the width of their normal counterparts, and are worn on the left lapel. Exceptions to the miniature medals are the Medal of Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (although the PMF also includes an optional miniature version), and authorized foreign neck-borne decorations (e.g., Knight Commander of Order of the Bath, Commander of the Order of Military Merit, et al.) Individual and unit awards that consist of ribbons only are not worn on the mess uniform. Miniature versions of combat and special skill badges are worn above the miniature medals, along with miniature versions of Ranger and Special Forces shoulder tabs, made of enameled metal. Marksmanship and driver/mechanic badges are not worn on the mess uniform. Regimental distinctive insignia is worn on the right lapel. Identification badges worn on service uniform pockets, such as the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge, Presidential Service Badge, Recruiter Badge, Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge, et al., are worn between the top and middle buttons on the applicable side of the mess uniform.

GO Hefty 50
Style: White Pine Breeze, Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
They are best buy for the money. Scent is not overpowering like some are. Not cheap bags made strong and you can tell that when you start using them.

Great! Buy them!
Style: White Pine Breeze, Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I learned that I only buy ultra strong! These are durable, I pack my garbage can full and these hold up! They smell good too. I also use them in my cat box (jump into the top kind) and that is one stinky situation, these hold up to the scooper and when it needs to be tossed it is still in one piece. (Cats dont have front claws)

TAKE THE TRASH OUT !
Style: White Pine Breeze, Size: 50 Count (Pack of 1)
I recently bought the Hefty Ultra Strong 30 Gallon Trash Bags and I am thoroughly impressed with their performance. These bags are perfect for handling heavy loads and tough trash, making them ideal for both household and industrial use. The 30-gallon size is perfect for larger trash cans, and the drawstring closure is incredibly convenient. It allows for easy tying and carrying, without worrying about the bag breaking or ripping. The drawstring also ensures that the bag stays securely in place in the trash can. The black color is great for concealing the contents, and the White Pine Breeze scent adds a pleasant touch that helps neutralize odors. The scent isn't overpowering but does a good job of keeping unpleasant smells at bay. These bags are truly break-resistant, leak-proof, and puncture-resistant. I've used them for a variety of tasks, from yard work to cleaning out the garage, and they have held up beautifully without tearing or leaking. The strength and durability of these bags are evident, even with heavy and sharp objects inside. Overall, the Hefty Ultra Strong Trash Bags are an excellent choice for anyone looking for reliable and durable trash bags. They offer great value for the price, and their performance has exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone needing a strong, dependable trash bag!
