"But you are heading into territory without precedent here."

Panache,
I am OK with that.

I am as far as I know, the only kiltie in Federal Way, but in no way the only guy in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area...which would make it really easy to bend hte fashion rules a bit. I am actually hoping to attend an All Clan's banquet that is going to be held in my town, and I am not sure how formal it is supposed to be... being a Scottish related function, I would naturally go kilted, but without the funds or time to acquire more accessories (notably black ones), I will be stuck with the brown, provided it ships out soon (items are still on back order... real downside of being built large), and I could theoretically get a set of brown brogues in time (I get paid at the end of the month again, and I get paid before the function... so I think 2 weeks is enough time for a pair of shoes to get mailed to me). I have never been to a formal function, so part of my questions stem from that...
If I showed up in what is typically considered daywear, but had a very clean and confident presentation... would anyone care or even notice?
