Level(s) of formality

[Father Bill]

Hi!

I've read the comment that a full-mask sporran can be worn for either day-wear or evening dress. I rather think that it might well make the cut at a black-tie event, but is it considered dressy enough to go to a white-tie event? If not, how high up the scale should it go at most?

I'm not interested in hearing from the "It's-your-sporran-and-you-can-wear-whatever-you-want-wherever-you-want" school of thought. I respect that it's technically true, but there are some things that simply aren't considered old-school correct by those who know and care and I do care but don't know, so I'm asking about the traditional Highland interpretation today and in recent times.
