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.

Verify your engine size! 17220-5AA-A00 filter for 1.5 liter turbo. 2.0 uses different filter.
Size: 17220-5AA-A00
17220-5AA-A00 for the 1.5 turbo engine (we have a 2017 Civic EX-T), 2 pack of filters, use 1 at a time so 2 intervals, about 15k-30k miles per interval, it's about 30k-60k miles worth of air filter. Works as it should, fits, compatible, nothing fancy, does its job. For the turbo it's a few screws or nuts (use the socket, less chance of stripping, don't over tighten when you put the cover back on), front of engine compartment, you could do this while dressed in fancy clothing. First mechanical thing that I had our son do, I gave him guidance, literally the first time he popped the hood. Took maybe 10 minutes, and that was him being careful and being new to using tools. I'm not a professional but I work on our vehicles, have done a bit more than basic maintenance. This air filter replacement procedure is as straightforward as they get.

Filter fit perfectly.
Size: 17220-5LA-A00
It fit, so that was my first concern in buying this as the price was low for a 2-pk. I bought it since it said good for 24,000 miles whereas another I was considering was only 12,000. I know I went more than twice that so will see how it holds up. Coming from a brand I never heard of, but what was available on Amazon.
