Buggrit - I'm pretty sure that poppies aren't worn on mess dress as there is nowhere to pin them, however I maybe wrong. Anyone else know the answer

Cheers fellas. It was a question for someone else. Im not important enough to need to wear mess dress yet :P Not that I'd want to anyway. I mean those trousers look like they go right up your jacksy

If you are SPS you pin it to your right breast on your Mess Kit using your issue Noddy lapel badge

Males wear Forage caps with mess kit, Females do not.

But... most people don't bother because functions are normally indoors, but if you attend an outdoor event (e.g. beating the retreat) then blokes should take their hats.
