Urgent .. to Cilt or not to Cilt

I like the cut of the green better than the dark, and the color seems to go as well. I would second the choice of looking for other shoes though.

I'm kinda of the opinion that shoes for a formal occasion wouldn't really be that different for a kilt as they would for pants, but that's me.

Never mind can't win em all.

On my monitor it looks like your belt and sporran are black. If I didn't have a pair of black shoes to match then I'd go with the p**ts. I like the tie and green coat together, but I have a Welsh bias.

I'd go with the green jacket
but I think that it would look better with dress shoes

I agree with you Aggie, black shoes if you can.
The blue jacket and tie don't quite happen but it's great with the green jacket. If you were to wear the Blue (which looks a little more formal IMHO) go a white shirt and black tie, black shoes. Otherwise the green jacket outfit will be fine.
Clear as mud?!

Green jacket, definitly.

If you can, match up the leathers, and match the shoes to the leathers.

otherwise, looks good!

Better go with the trousers, for now. I don't think you can make that stuff match up, at all.

After this event, follow Alan H's directions for cutting a sport coat down into a kilt jacket, get some black dress shoes and a solid-color tie.

Like others, I would say the green jacket--especially with that color tie. Otherwise, you've got too much color diversity. Do you have a pair of green kilt hose/socks you can wear to pull it all together? I think the shoes would be OK, especially if you wear a brown belt, but I tend to feel green hose would be better.

Go and have a good time.

Green jacket is better
Tie is fine
White shirt - NOT A BUTTON DOWN
GREEN hose if available - if not go with what you have on. & if you have to go with those hose - stick with the non-white shirt.
BLACK SHOES

Cheers
& kudos to the missus on her award

Seconded. I'd go with the green jacket as pictured, but with a white shirt, white or off-white hose, and black shoes.
