matching your hose?

[The Guy in the Kilt at UC]

Yes, the shirt & hose need not match. If the dinner is formal, and he has no jacket for the kilt, then he should ditch the kilt and go with one of his formal suits. Or he should rent a tuxedo on board. If he wants to wear the kilt to formal night, he will definitely need a jacket. You can buy one, but it seems like short notice. Depending on your location, you may not find an evening jacket so readily.

About the shirt and hose matching: it all depends on where he's wearing it.
For a formal dinner aboard ship, I'd say they need to match. White/white, cream/cream, etc.) For going to the grocery store to get your favorite dinner fixin's, it doesn't really matter.
Depending on where you are, what size Hunny is and how much you want to spend, a jacket could be had by the end of this month.
The red and black "checkered" (diced) hose are often worn as formal hose, sometimes worn by 'pipe bands, and are generally available through various websites, some of whom are sponsors here.

So a suit jacket and tie and white shirt would be good. I'm thinking the Semi-Formal look Jamie modeled (so well) would be appropriate, as I am not going to be in sequins, but a simple black dress. He has a normal suit jacket, but I didn't realize that would be ok. I noticed Jamie's jackets were cut into a curve in the front, and hubby's are more square...

He is very, very fond of the traditional dress (despite wearing his kilt with various T-shirts, as I mentioned above) and we'd like to work on his ensemble! He likes to wear it a lot! Eventually I'd love for him to have a fur sporran and one of those lovely jackets Glenn and Jamie wear so well! He is also jonesing after the Ghillies! Black dress shoes will have to suffice for now though! He does have a lovely kilt pin and great belt buckle, and a pretty basic black leather sporran. Hoping we can get it all together before the trip!
