    With that in mind, if you really enjoy wearing your fine Argyle jacket and want to show it off, go for it!

    In the future, you might want to consider getting a less formal jacket. Check out:

    and

    for some recent threads on making your own tweed kilt jackets on the cheep.

    One last idea, Stillwater Kilt used to offer a nice leather kilt jacket for about $200.00.

    It's a bit hard to see the pics but I have indeed worn my Braemar jacket with a sweater and kilt. I would not wear a very dark colored sweater with the black jacket though. I wore cream sweater, black Braemar and a very bright tartan. I would not wear the black Argyll waistcoat without wearing a tie. It's just too formal. I'd also wear a less formal sporran but if you have just the one then go for it.

    Have fun tonight and lift one for us!

    Lift one what, pleat or pint? Did you see my thread from last week where a girl asked me to moon her boss? . Anyway. I think you're right about the dark colors. I have a light gray turtle neck thats rather heavy, so I think I shall wear that later. I'll try and get some pics of me and my mates tonight.

    Well, lift a pleat -or- a pint. Just not at the same time.

    Black jacket and gray turtleneck. Should work well.
