I wouldn't - not for an evening event, especially if it's indoors. At every gathering I've been to, the men all remove their hats with the exception of a clan chief if one is present. Why bother wearing something if it's going to be tucked into your belt all night? I've *never* seen a hat with a Prince Charlie jacket, anyway.

Sounds fine, here.

The purists will tell you to leave off the belt and buckle if you're wearing the waistcoat. From my own point of view, I don't think it's a problem *if* the buckle is low-profile so it doesn't cause bunching of the waistcoat at the buckle.

Sounds fine. I've always thought it better to go without a sgian dubh than to wear something tacky.
