Need advice for first time semi formal kilt wearing

[gbmaz]

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
