Brown sporran with eveningwear?

[FossilHunter]

Depends on the context. What did the invitation stipulate? If they are showing up dressed contrary to the hosts desires, then yes, eject them, no different than being drunk and causing a disturbance. You are disrespecting the host by your choices, and should suffer the consequences.

If its public, and simply in poor taste, that person might not get an invitation to the next private event. Actions have consequences right? I don't care much for what the majority of society does anymore. They can all wear sandals, utilikilts and tye dye shirts if they want. Does not make them right by sheer numbers.

Is a brown doublet really out of the question though in highland dress?

I am aware of at least one Scottish lord who wears one in brown velvet. John Archibald Sinclair, 3rd Viscount Thurso, PC, known also as John Thurso:



We have to remember that the conventions for kilted highland black tie are not identical to Saxon black tie. Though there is overlap, things like colored jackets and brogued which are unacceptable with a tuxedo are traditional with a kilt even if they aren’t common today (jackets not brogues).

Of course we’re veering away from sporrans now.
