In part I'm wondering what the best outfit would be for all black tie occasions? Lord MacDonald seems to like his black balmoral doublet with the argyle hose for a wide range of formal events.
I’ve only ever seen Lord Godfrey Macdonald of Macdonald photographed in two Highland outfits. The bottle green balmoral doublet with Argyll hose for black tie events and a bottle green barrathea Crail for day wear.
For Clan Donald functions he adds a day plaid and bonnet with his day wear. I’ve never seen him in tweed so I’m deducing that he lets the barrathea jacket serve many functions.
