    White long sleeve shirt. Since you are going with a black kilt, a tie in the tartan of the grooms kilt might be a nice touch. Might think about renting an Argyl jacket for the event.

    Don't forget to get a Sporran. Since you are going to wedding, get something Furry!

    Don't worry about spending more that your wife's dress. I am sure you will wear your new kilt more than once.

    Welcome! I agree with renting an Argyl Jacket and a dress sporran.

    If you don't go with a tartan tie to match the grooms kilt, perhaps you could choose a tie in a solid color that matches with the grooms kilt. I think a black on black out fit with a crisp white shirt and a solid red or yellow or what ever color tie would look very sharp!!

    Solid black....you can get that in the SWK heavyweight, but not in the Standard any more, I think. Here's the thing, if you're going to own a kilt, you might as well own something you can wear and be proud of. The $100 you'll spend for a heavyweight is more than worth it. You'll have it for years.

    Team that up with a nice kilt belt, black shoes, real kilt hose ($20, get the REAL stuff, like Locharron or something), a sporran with fur off of ebay, a white shirt and a tie in the grooms tartan and you'll look fantastic. That kilt will take you to a whole lot of gatherings...Highland games, formal events, everyday wear, you name it. I wear my black one pretty regularly to both dressy and totally casual events.

    Get the better kilt.

    Thanks for the information especially on the kilt to get I will make sure I upgrade. Also the tartan tie idea is a great one, now I just have to remember which one he is getting. I know I have that somewhere.

    Possingk,

    WELCOME!

    Cannot expound any further than the advise already given. Do tell us about it when the wedding comes about.
