    Most will agree with a black argyll being best for evening wear to a wedding. If you're in the market for one jacket that is even more versatile, you might consider a charcoal, tweed, Braemer jacket. Very sharp and is certainly acceptable as evening wear for weddings. But, wouldn't look too "over kill" as day wear for a kilted stroll or something. If I were doing it, I would get that and a matching waist coat. Don the waistcoat for the more dressy occasions, and lose it for day wear. You might talk to Rocky at USA Kilts about this if you're interested in something like that.

    I do by the way only have one jacket which is a lovet grey argyll. It's probably not the most appropriate jacket for an evening wedding. But, I have worn it and people loved it.

    Thanks very much for the replies and suggestions so far and of the welcome tae the site.

    I'm going to all allday affair with a Wedding starting at 2pm in the local town church and then down for a Ceilidh and a band at the reception,

    Most scottish weddings I've been to so far have been with most of the males wearing the Prince Charlie Jacket all-day and quite formal wear, I've always fancied wearing the Argyll as it fits in with my Kilt colours,

    Thanks again for your help so far folks
