The Jacobite Potain Outfit

Causal Day Wear/Causal Evening Wear



The Jacobite Potain outfit is fast becoming a very popular hire with the younger generation. This outfit is really meant for general day use, worn mostly at parties and gatherings however this outfit is also worn to weddings and almost any other type of function, it is a matter of choice as to what event you think it is suitable for, many grooms have been married in this style of outfit.

Consider the context and source. Kilt hire people will say most anything to make a pound or a dollar, and to make their lives easier. Remember, it was they who somehow decided that white kilt hose were appropriate for formal ocassions, in order to save themselves the trouble of keeping a variety of more expensive ones in stock.

True, and while I dug this quote out of the web, there are fifty other places that refer to "Jacobite" as "casual" or "less formal".

Just wondering if concepts were changing....

I recall P1M saying something to the effect of "A laying down of arms, no weapons hidden from the soon to be joined clan or family."
