    I was thinking that trading the Jacobite shirt for a nice dress shirt with French cuffs/cufflinks would have been far more appropriate.

    I didn't see anything horrible inappropriate, if he was dressing a bit on the fancier side. People used to dress up more to go out to such things in the past, no? When I heard Jacobit outfit I was thinking belted plaide, or feilidh beag.

    I'll have to retract my previous opinion as well. I was imagining a great kilt with a very distinct doublet (and bonnet). I do though agree with previous opinions that a more modern shirt would have been more appropriate. I think your friend is just one of the many people that try hard not to stand out in the crowd. Of course we wouldn't know much about that feeling here at X marks.

    Cheers

    Speaking of more historical garments, I think I will wear my 'beag out tomorrow... just because.

    Even if Parpin was wearing a more historical garment, it's still clothes, and can look good, depending on application.
