Ascot Day? What do the Kilted Wear?

You might take a cue from Henry Higgins, (My Fair Lady.) He showed up in tweed, (but was I think protesting the pretentious nature of the event, being kilted may be looked upon as the same.) I think a tweed Argyll with wastecoat and tie would do well in that scenario. You'll stand out, but that's pretty normal in a kilt, unless your at the highland games.
Best Wishes,
David

I'd go with a nice argyll daywear outfit. Most gentlemen just wear business attire, so the kilt would really be distinctive. Here's some photo's; http://www.babchouston.org/en/rsss/?...66&reload=true
I'd also consider the fact that it's in June in Houston!

Thanks for the pics, Z. I should have done a search, but was unfamiliar with this event.

Tweed would be tempting as I just received my Harris tweed A&w, but not Houston in June (even though it's an indoor event)! Thanks, though.
