Let's see your THCD formal attire!
Since this is the season (St. Andrew's Day, Christmas, Hogmanay, Burns Night), here's a new thread to post recent examples of THCD formal wear. Extra points for diced/argyll hose and hair sporrans!
Our St. Andrew's Dinner is this coming Saturday night. I'll post my pics after the event. The rest of you, have at it!

Here is how I dressed for our St. Andrews Society of the Eastern Shore, 44th Annual Dinner, recently.
I wore claret hose this year and didn't think that it was too much. For last years dinner, I wore dark gray hose with red flashes. The majority of our SASES members, wore white or ecru hose.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

Sadly I don't have anything recent, or anything as nice as Nathan or the good Father, but here goes!
I rarely wear a Prince Charlie, but I picked up an inexpensive ex-hire one on Ebay a couple years ago that happened to be a very nice high quality one.
I wear it when playing pipes with an orchestra (usually) but I also wore it to attend the Black Watch tour of a couple years ago. Here it is!
Too bad I don't have a proper waistcoat. I used the one that supposed to go with the Argyll jacket. I was thinking about getting a tartan one, or a yellow or buff one.
Ironically, just last Tuesday I found myself putting on much of the same kit that the fellow I'm posing with above is wearing... here's some of the stuff laid out on a table in the Green Room. What's not seen is the super-heaving Royal Stewart kilt...

This was few years ago but it was the last time I dressed semi-formal for a kilted event...

The hose are great! A bold statement of the Highlander's love of colour. Not too much at all!

Dressed for a theatre club gala with belted plaid and coyote sporan (diced hose are on my wishlist)

Now I am torn. I asked for feed back on hose choice for tonight here.
Also where are all these argyle hose coming from?

I've posted this before, so forgive the repetition if you've already seen it.
A year or so ago, I was asked to pose for a calendar in a "formal" outfit. This is what I came up with:
The jacket was inspired by the rabble here at XMTS! I knew I wanted something different and out of the ordinary. While I own, and wear, a plain black Argyll on those occasions when conformity is required, this is for those occasions when I need to stand out a bit!
