Burns Night is coming. Formal on the cheap.

I bought one of these Spencer jackets 3 years ago and replaced the buttons with pewter ones. It's basically a tail-less PC and I like it fine, in some ways better than my PC which I usually wear now.

Shear mad-rabble brilliance at work here!

For me this is one of the most useful and informative threads that I've found. I really like P.C.'s, and I also like the economic benefits of a less expensive option. I think that all these "conversion" options look absolutely great, and I (personally) like the more modern look.

While they may not be "traditional", they (in my opinion) certainly qualify for any "black tie" event, and look kilt appropriate to me.

I don't go to enough black tie event (lately) to warrant a $200-300 expense for a PC., and I've found all these suggested options, and web resources just great.

I've saved all the suggested web sites, and will be buying my Spencer jacket, or tailed Tux jacket soon.

Thanks

I think you've helped me piece together the perfect get-up for my commencement ceremonies next year. Thanks!
