my Pleasanton problem

[Downunder Kilt]

I see nothing wrong with wearing a long sleeved shirt (as you were going to) no tie or waistcoat and rolling the sleeves up. Last summer on a 41C day here in the land downunder, I did exactly that, at one of the Highland Gatherings. Bonus is, if your arms start to get a bit burnt, you can roll the sleeves down

My vote is for a long-sleeve shirt, with the sleeves rolled up a couple of times, no tie, kilt, sporran, Balmoral, etc.

Cheers,

I agree with the consensus, your shirt is the way to go. Being an ex-scout, I believe in Be Prepared. So I would take the jacket waistcoat and tie and leave them in the car - just in case. Hot days often turn into cool evenings and cold nights - sometimes quite suddenly.

Pleasanton can be anything but!

Playing in a Pipe Band we have to wear the band kit, long sleeve shirt, necktie, waistcoat, and all. Some years Pleasanton has been well over 100 degrees.

To top it off, our band has decreed that we're not allowed to walk around the grounds in partial kit. You see it all the time at US Games, bandspeople wearing their kilt but trainers or flip-flops, or wearing their kilt hose and ghillies but board shorts, and so forth. Not in our band!

See ya there!
