If the other guys will be wearing regular tuxedos then I would suggest wearing a black Argyle jacket instead and consider wearing a semi-dress sporran if you don't like the fur sporrans.

I'm not sure I agree with this statement. The PC is very appropriate for Burns Suppers, Tartan/St. Andrew's Balls, etc.

Agreed, I would say a PC is appropriate to any black tie evening function although the Argyll has its place too

thanks for the replys guys. i did not realise that it was a non functioning dress item. i would not cut the hair of a real sporran (only a synthetic) it just does not feel right. as for wearing a PC to this function - that will be fine, no one will be looking at the jacket anyway. i'm pretty sure i will shock them just wearing the kilt.
