Going on a cruise

Argyll more flexible and, face it, you'll STILL be outdressing any other guy on the boat.

Except for perhaps me as I'll be on the same cruise!

Have to put a plug in for the military who wear their mess dress or even full dress uniforms. They get considerable attention as well - and deserve every minute of it.

Too true.

That is a reason I leave the military dress stuff at home.

But remember we are just arm candy for our even lovelier ladies.

Well the cruise got bumped to April instead of May due to scheduling conflicts but got the reservations made on everything that we can.

Got the Argyle and waistcoat on order from Rocky. We will have one semi-formal night (from what I have learned that is a fairly flexable term), a dinner at the Palo and a Pirate night. Don't think the jacket will be needed on the pirate night. Probably no kilt either. The idea of a pirate kilted up in the rigging or swinging between the ships might be a bit of an eyeful

I was faced with a similar decision when I came to Hong Kong and opted for the black Argyll. Knowing I would be doing black tie at least once and could wear it for semi-formal too was a great economy when packing my bags.

That is also the conclusion I reached. With both a formal and semi-formal night the black Argyll is much more versatile for both events than a PC or other jacket.

Since Drac will not be on my cruise as we had thought I'm falling back to my wife's request that I take my tux as I usually do (she bought me a special island themed cumberbund to wear in the Caribbean). I will be taking the kilt on our cruise to Canada later in the year.

Drac go for the kilted Pirate look. I am up and down ladders a lot with no problems. A few gals insist on steadying the ladder for me though...

Man, you'll be missing out!
