Need advice for first time semi formal kilt wearing

McMurdo-

Thanks for the reminder about that thread, I have read it several times in the past and there are some great ideas.

Looking at #8 Semi Formal I am thinking of perhaps going with a tuxedo shirt, waist coat, and red bow tie. I would probably get one
of the USA Kilts Semi Dress Sporrans t complete the outfit - http://www.usakilts.com/kilt-accesso...-sporrans.html

This seems like it would step up the formality of the outfit, but also be a bit playful. In non Highland formal dress the waistcoat and bow tie combo has become popular in the last 5 years (I used to manage a men's clothing department that rented tuxedos).

Does anyone have suggestions for another suitable sporran is the <$150 range?

With shipping it may come to the high end of your price range, but I own this and I am very happy with it.

That is rather handsome, but the shipping window would be rather tight given that the event is in 2 weeks.

I notice in a number of pictures that dress sporrans in lighter fur colors seem to be common. Is this a matter of using the lighter color to make the handsome sporran stand out more? Or is it more traditional?

Having lost my dressier sgian dubh to an overzealous sercurity person at a ren faire (seriously, 200 ft from the gate I could buy an 5 ft broadsword), I find myself looking for another one for this event. I am leaning towards a sgian brew to avoid the confiscation issue again.

Is stag handle considered an option with semi formal dress?

It seems an old chestnut has risen again, that being the the issue of semi formal in highland attire and the answer being is that there is no such thing.

There is day wear, formal daywear and formal nightwear . The sgian dubh you describe is daywear. Cheers
