Explanation:
"מקטורן שרד, אפודה צמודה לאירועים, מקטורן ערב צמוד לגוף הנלבש כחלק ממדים (על ידי קצינים בארוחות ערב רשמיות)"
According to Babylon.

Just another option, but ONLY if the context is a military one.
Furthermore, after reading this from the wikipedia link:
"In the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), mess uniform is never actually worn inside Israel. It is only worn abroad, either by a military attaché or by senior officers on official state visits"

I'd only advise using this suggestion if it's a non-Israeli military context.

Otherwise, I'd go with any one of Gad's suggestions.
