Argyll jacket, ex-hire

... (need to find an affordable dress sporran) and black wingtip shoes (Ghillie Brogues aren't in the budget just yet).

The outfit sounds good. Dress shoes will work fine. In fact that paragon of kilted fashion Hamish doesn't bother with Ghillie Brogues. I would advise checking out XMTS sponsor the Celtic Croft. They have a line of affordable sporrans in both leather and fur.

My bad. I got to the end of the second paragraph and didn't follow thru. Yes, what you have will work fine. And, I agree that regular dress shoes or wingtips would work fine. That's all I use for dress and have no plans to "upgrade"

As to a frugal choice in a dress sporran, I got the "bargain bunny sporran" from kiltmart and it turned out to be quite adequate. I wouldn't carry a whole lot of stuff in it for a very long time but it can easily contain the wallet and car keys when you're going out.

They come in black, grey and white bunny and a couple of leather configurations. Lots of vendors carry the same thing but I have to say that kiltmart's price was right and service was great...giving credit where credit is due.

Best
