Inauguration of The Buchanan

[figheadair]

The two surprising things for me are:

• The use of the term "semi-formal"
• The specificty to the ladie's sashes.

I'd bet that the term "casual" doesn't mean what us Americans would take to be "casual." In California, that means jeans or shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops.

Agreed. It's either formal, or It's not.

[Jock Scot]

Agreed. It's either formal, or It's not.

Precisely.

[Really a McQueen]

Agreed. It's either formal, or It's not.

From reading their definitions, it would appear that they are saying the Prince Charlie would be "formal" or at least "more formal" than encouraged for this event. Whereas a dark Argyle and black Black Barathea five button waistcoat is just "formal enough".

I would love to see any pictures you have of the inauguration if you have them!

I'll be giving a lecture on the Saturday and will grab some pictures. This will be my Day Dress (Striped of Check Shirt; Regimental Tie; and Brass Cantled Sporran) :-).

What is your tartan? Is it Buchanan?

No it's this one.

It was a good day and nice to see a number of the other chiefs there: some I know; some I haven't seen in 30 years, and some I'd never met.

I have to say, someone needs to take the new chief aside and offer some guidance on his dress.
