    Orange, eh? you could get this jacket!



    I'm puzzled by that Kinloch Anderson thing. Well, it's a business, the Kilt Hire business, and they can call it anything they want! But the centre guy is wearing a black jacket with silver buttons, and that has meant Evening Dress throughout the 20th century. And he's wearing a leather sporran, which has meant Day Dress. To me that middle guy looks like he plays in some pipe band. Pipe bands often mix the two traditional categories.

    That middle "semi" category didn't exist traditionally... check out these, from the 1930s... just Evening Dress and Outdoor Dress (what later was called Day Dress)





    Here's the sporrans from Anderson themselves in 1936 where you can see the distinction between Day and Eve... no "semi" anything
