Thanks Hothir

I was leaning more towards the tweed. I do not attend many formal events, but once and awhile when someone gets married or something of the sort it would be nice to be able to wear a kilt for those occasions. Thus does the colour affect the formality of the jacket? Say green lovat vs charcoal tweed?

With the Sgian Dubh I would most likely be only wearing it in formal occasions. However, we are more 'country' people and a knife that actually works would be nice From what I hear most of the fancy looking ones are pretty much useless.

I agree about the glengarry's looking uniformish, they do look sharp though
