Morning Suit Equivalent

[JSFMACLJR]

In other words, I would try to acutally match in with the other men, rather than theoretically match.

A jacket and kilt like this, but the jacket of fine grey barathea, not rustic tweed:

Funny how the message never gets through about matching. Why match? What's the big issue at stake here? Why should a gentleman coordinate his apparel with what others are wearing so that everyone looks the same? BORING!!!

My morning coat is made of a black cloth with a very fine herringbone weave to it. One can tell right away that it doesn't come from one of the rental shops! My striped trousers aren't exactly like every other pair. My waistcoats are different. My shirts etc, etc. Why should it be any diffferent with the kilt? You are not in uniform. You are wearing civilian clothes. Wedding guests matching?? How sad and how plebean!

Now, back to what to wear to this wedding. A black kilt jacket in the "argyll" style, with silver buttons is spot on. Actually, so would a tweed jacket be correct. They are worn in the Highlands to weddings. I know, because I have seen them worn.

Wear your usual clan tartan. No need to get some fashion tartan that "tones" with your jacket. That would be silly. And not Scottish.

Actually, Jock Scot once posted a pic of himself and family at a wedding in France. Maybe Jock can help out here and re-post it!
