I am getting ready for Burns Night. Last year I was still putting the final stitches in my first kilt. Not having a kilt at the time, I wore a standard dark suit and tie.

This year I will have my choice of several kilts. But, I need to decide on formal accessories. Can someone recommend some options?

If I go with a doublet, where is a good low cost place to get it? What styles would be appropriate for a larger guy? What shirt options are there?

I have seen others wear a Harris Tweed type jacket and tie. Is this an acceptable wear for a formal event? What shirt should be worn with it?

Some showed up wearing a jacobite type kilt shirt with no jacket at all.

I have some time to research so please feel free to post some ideas. Also, I would like to go with something multi functional as I may be wearing this to my wedding. I hate to buy one time use clothing. I am a mason and we wear tuxes often. So instead of renting, I bought my tux. It was a good investment.

Thanks,

Doc
