Hello rabble. I got invited to see a concert by The Irish Tenors tonight at the WolfTrap in Virginia. I've never seen them and I'm so excited to go see in MY KILT!!!
Questions:
Should one wear a PC jacket at an event like this? or is that too formal? (not that it matters, because I don't have a PC jacket). Or Eton jacket, etc... The temperature's going to be in the 80's (°F). It's an outdoorsy concert place.
Is wearing a pair of hose also suitable? In the past, I've only worn crew length socks casually and feel that hose might get me too warm tonight. But I feel like that I have to wear them to make it a little bit more formal-looking.

I just got started on kilt wearing and I don't have a formal ensemble.
I don't have a PC or any jackets other than my regular suit/sport jacket.
I am borrowing a friend's formal sporran - which we took out of storage (horror) and had multi-colored silver cantle. It's multi-colored because it's soo dirty. lol.
But I cleaned it up with Tom's toothpaste and voila!
Now, I'll wear a cream hose and black shoes and red tie. If I can find my Geoffrey Beene sateen silver shirt -- I'd be "golden" lol. The sporran has a red trim so it'll be perfect.
I just made "fake" flashes -- no elastic. I'm pinning it to the hose cuff. I made it from the same tartan that the kilt is made from. It's all a rush for me and I don't have time to go buy elastic and loops etc.
The kilt I'm wearing is my DIY Stewart Gray in PV - it's knife pleated.
I think it'll look good. I hope!
This will be my first real public outing in a kilt.
I'm excited and hopefully will post pictures....
