On November 1st, the Tripoli Scottish Highlanders are hosting their annual Tartan Ball in Milwaukee. This is the first black tie event I am attending that I will not be piping at.

I've got the tickets (and a date!) but I was wondering about what I should wear. I have a black argyle and waist coat, but I'm wondering if I should rent a PC jacket. And should I wear a tux shirt with a black bow tie? Also, should my date be wearing a tartan sash?

Let me know what you guys think. I want to look good. I already have the kilt, full argyle kilt hose, and a white formal sporran with silver cantle. Do you think my black argyle jacket, waistcoat, and bow tie would look alright with that?
