Prince Charlie Kilt Jacket {COLOR}

[r. m. anderson]

Thinking of a Prince Charlie jacket.
Several offered on Ebay.
The Navy Blue colored ones are less expensive.
Anything wrong with wearing a Navy Blue jacket
instead of a Black?
Would it matter at what type of function (formal)
one was wearing it? I.E. Black tie - Black jacket?
Navy Blue - the Admiral's Ball?
The Navy Blue one would most definitely compliment
the kilts I have at present but a black one would not
be a problem with color coordination.
Savings about 25 GBP - Grief factor [priceless]?????
Comments!
Thanks.

In general a coloured jacket would be considered less formal. The black will go with anything so if you get different kilts in the future you don't need to worry. However unless you go to a lot of black tie events the blue one should be fine.

Based on photos of a great many kilted formal events, I've seen only seen black PC's worn.

I have seen the odd PC in another colour but black is by far the most popular as it goes with any tartan.

I was at a ceilidh in Edinburgh this past Saturday and everyone who sported a PC had a black one.

I'd go w/ the black unless your family tartan is a blue one that would go w/ it and if Blue won't clash w/ your other kilts. O'Neille

If you're wearing the Anderson tartan then the blue could look nice. Black works quite well also as that is both my tartan and my PC is black.

My personal feeling is that the black is more dressy but I really don't see a problem. Assomming you have more kilts in other tartans then the blue might not be the best choice.
