White gloves: Yes or No?

[Frank McGrath]

The only time in the last 30 or so years that I have seen a civilian male wearing white gloves to a formal event was my late father who was attending a formal occasion at his lodge.

As a lodge officer, I wear white cotton gloves in lodge. When I attend lodge I am often kilted. I wear my PC as an officer, When I left my position, I just wear the argyll, without the gloves. But I keep them handy, just in case.
