Formal Attire w/Kilt

**Andrew Green** · 14th December 06, 08:50 PM

Does anyone have a link for the Uniformal Warehouse? I have been looking for a solid, simple wasitcoat to go with the kilts. Sorry to butt in on the thread. I only have enough stuff to wear casually...but would love the option to go more formal.

As an input... if I am wearing something predominantly black on my upper body, I go with black hose... then again I like black though. Straight white seems such a harsh contrast most of the time (though I do have some bright whites). A softer neutral can make a good go between (oatmeal, charcoal, off white) from what I have seen from other people's pictures.

One website saw that seemed to have some decent formal wear to go with a kilt is http://www.hendersongroupltd.com/. Hope that helps at all.

Sorry, I can't help you with your Eton jacket, but ---

I'm taking Mark's side on the medals here -
Though it's tended to be out of fashion in America post-Vietnam, wearing of miniature medals is appropriate in formal attire under the circumstances described in AR 670-1 (Army uniform regs). And he is a police officer, so not strictly a civilian. Many departments recognize their officers' military service - in San Antonio they may wear 1 badge they qualified for above their right breast pocket. My question is, Mark - you're an officer of the law; what are you doing with a prohibited wildlife item (sealskin sporran)?

Sealskin is NOT prohibited in the United States. The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) just bans the import and sale. U.S. products by Alaskan Natives are exempted when used in traditional native handicrafts (for tourists). A native Alaskan (U.S. Citizen) may make and sell handicrafts of seal-skin, polar bear fur as well as numerous endangered species (seal is NOT endangered). They may also be exported.
