    Let me make sure I've got this right...

    Black barathea Argyll= FORMAL day wear
    PC (regardless of color)= evening wear

    So, as I only own these two jackets, I guess I'll be wearing the black barathea Argyll to the morning wedding this Saturday.

    As long as I'm asking questions, I've got a couple more for you...

    When would a BLUE PC be appropriate?
    If I ever end up going to a formal/black tie event, which would be more appropriate, the black barathea Argyll, or the blue PC?

    Speaking personally,I cannot imagine any time that is suitable for a blue PC,sorry.Alright,on reflection a very dark blue might do.Having said that,sorry again, the PC is the "correct" form of evening wear along with other styles of evening wear jackets.

    The black barathea Argyll is really a formal day wear jacket,but these days it is worn as evening wear too.I think it is very effective worn this way,provided and I repeat, provided, that if a waist coat(vest) is worn, the low cut 3 button version, is the one to wear and NOT the usual 5 button version.

    I don't think I have ever seen one of those. I did see a dark green one once. I would stick to black for formal dress.

    Let's say, whenever a blue tuxedo jacket would be appropriate. Actually, midnight blue (almost, but not quite, black) does well in tux form. Is yours a navy blue?

    BTW if you want to make your Argyll more versatile, you can get a 3-button black vest from Celtic Croft, among other places.

    So in other words, it would be appropriate at a high school prom...

    I can't remember the exact shade of blue off hand, but I know it's lighter than navy or midnight.
