When is a PC too formal?

[OC Richard]

I've worn a smart charcoal jacket and kilt to dinner in a restaurant occasionally but never Black Tie...

I'll second the charcoal kilt jacket, or dark blue, as looking smart but not overstepping the bounds and looking ostentatiously overdressed.

Something like this but no hat and ordinary black brogues rather than Ghillie Brogues.

Absolutely. This was my version for an event last week.

To my eye, I would add green, or brown tweeds and not too loud patterned tweed to be suitable for most kilted non formal dinner events too.

We need to remember that the tweed jacket(in good condition) is not a sports jacket. It is the kilt equivalent of a suit. Leave the battered and tatty tweed kilt jacket for gardening and informal social events such as popping into the local pub for a quick pint or fishing or some such. xx
