    I, too, have to wear morning dress to a formal event, in October. My understanding is that morning dress is a "uniform" for certain, particularly government or royal, events. It is akin to a military uniform in that regard, and there is no departure from the requirement. Depending on what your event is, I would suggest if I may, that you check with the organisers to see what alternative forms of dress are acceptable. I know that in my event, a kilt would not be aceptable. I would be interested to hear the outcome and of course a pic would be great.

    Have a great time, whatever you wear.

    I've never had a reason to don a full morning outfit, and not likely to in the circles I frequent. I did want to have an subdued dressy look however. Found the Auld Lang Syne (Grey) on ScottishKilts.net. With a black Argyll jacket and waistcoat and grey kilt hose, I like the look. (I now have black flashes, but the red ones pick up the red stripe in the ALS(G). Found a soft grey tie at Target.

    Don't really like the dark tartans, but this one is nice. Pic included in the yahoo connection below.

    Please show us what you come up with, even if is isn't kilted.

    Best wishes

    Tom
