Congratulations from another Phi Theta Kappa. You're lucky to have the gig. All I ever got was a certificate, guess we weren't organized.

Black soccer socks was gonna be my suggestion too, just be sure they're not so tight that they show through to your skin.

I love vests as an alternative to wearing a sporran - lets more of the kilt show and less of a hassle. But it sounds like you're ready to show off your new creation.

If its not too formal of a gig a nice sweater (back to thrift shops) can look very good with a kilt.

And, I thought there were a couple of large Celtic goods supplier houses there in Missouri?

Anyhow, hope you get this fashion challenge won and can just go and enjoy the event.
