Which jacket?

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

OK, so there has been a lot of interest in jackets to wear in business or for more informal occasions where an Argyll would be a little too much (at least in the US), and wearing a PC would be like wearing a 3 piece suit to swim.

Now I will be one of the keynote speakers at a conference in Boston at the end of August. I will be kilted, and want to present a more formal appearance than just the kilt and a dress shirt. I want to wear a jacket and tie. It is somewhat important for me, as a keynote speaker, to present a more formal appearance than I would feel necessary if I were just attending, or just presenting a technical topic, as I have done in the past. To that end I have found the jackets shown below. I am considering either my PK in brown/black herringbone (shown at the bottom) or my soon to be completed XMarks kilt. Keep in mind that while this is a purchase for a specific event now, I would want a jacket that would fit a variety of situations in the future, and I have very few "formal" events. Those that do arise, I would wear the Argylll to.

#1 Light tweed:


#2 Houndstooth:


#3 Charcoal gray tweed:


Herringbone PK:

I want to be different, wear the Light Tweed. :rolleyes:




HAHA! No, not really, go with the Charcoal.

Charcoal matches almost anything.

Charcoal tweed would also be my choice. More versatile than the others.

You will have the jacket modified for the kilt, right? Go with charcoal

Of the three go with the charcoal. Keep checking E-bay for a light grey (solid not the hound's tooth) or a lovat blue or green as well for a good choice.
