Selecting a Day Kilt Jacket, advice.

P.S. - I see that it's "House of Labhran" and I went to their not-inexpensive website but couldn't find it. Can you link for us?

My understanding is that, traditionally, tweed is tweed and all of equal formality, regardless of style and color. Kind of like how a regulation doublet and PC in black barathea are equally suitable for black tie.

I think it looks amazing and would happily wear it on any occasion that called for a tweed jacket.

That is what I think too. The owner told me that it was very popular in the 1920-1930's and was considered to be a daytime jacket, even though it sports tails.

Fr. Bill asked where I intend to where it, and that would be at Scottish Games, informal Scottish events that I attend with St. Andrews Society, and Clan Donald events, places that do not require formal wear. I still like being dressed, and if I wear a polo shirt or such I normally were the inexpensive sport kilts, not my nice wool. So I would only wear this when I am wearing my 13 and 16 oz kilts. My wife and I attend about 4 formal events a year, and about 10 informal a year. When we attend events in the hot Virginia sun, that is when the sport kilts, and polo shirts are worn, of course picnics and outdoor day events.

As you can tell I just love this look, to me looks very much Highlander, and that is where my ancestors are from, so carrying on tradition, even though there is a pond between us, I try to respect and dignify the Scottish Traditions. Glad so far, everybody approves of it. Bit pricey, but I have saved for months to buy this, and will at end of this month.

Thank you.

Dearish for daywear, I'd think, compared to some other options, but as I say... beautiful!

I'm interested in hearing from our native Highlanders to see what they think of it in terms of price and applicability.
