Is this occasion appropriate enough to wear the Jabot and cuffs.

I have attended several events (formal) [Burns Diner, Kik'n and such], with the St. Andrews Society of WashDC, and it seems a garden variety of dress. But they tend to dress more than other groups that I have been to events with. MOST wear the Prince Charles jacket with waistcoat, and blacktie, however several have work the Jobit. I most likely will take the advice and wear the Jobit and not the cuffs. I think it will not be over the top, but as usual I want to be as correct as possible. Seeing it is a formal ball, I don't think I will be out of place, and I know a few others who wear the Jobit also. Guess I will take black bowtie just in case....CHEERS. Thanks for all your advice.

Just thought of this, I remember at the last event, for the BURNs Night, a person was wearing a velvet green doublet, with full blown jobit and cuffs, including a full Pipers Dirk. Looks sharp, but way too much glamour for me personally and I would never wear a weapon to a social event period. But wearing the jobit to me would be a different experience, again I will forego the cuffs. I am sure they would end up on my dinner plate anyhow.
