Well, my daughter is treating me to a night out at a local pub (Two Fools Tavern) in honor of National Tartan Day (USA - April 6).

So I happened to mention it to my boss - who then had many questions about National Tartan Day and "Things Scottish" in general -- and ended up asking me if I wanted to wear my kilt to work that day . After a couple of "hmmm"s, I said "Sure".

Note: I've never worn my kilt except to an event where there were others of similar attire so this will be a first for me (and also a first, I believe, for where I work).

Now I come to the question of what to wear...

I have the kilt (16oz tank), a couple of off white Jacobite style shirts, 2 pair kilt hose (1 black, 1 off white), tartan flashes, black ghillie brogues, Prince Charlie jacket and 3-button vest, a belt with shiny flat buckle, a non-formal sporran, and a Glengarry cap with the MacMillan cap badge on it. I also have a matching tartan tie and also a tie and cummerbund set in an alternate MacMillan tartan.

My normal business attire (technically business casual) is a nice pair of pants, a button down shirt, a western buckle (I have several) and cowboy boots (polished of course). I rarely wear a jacket or tie -- and when I do, I'm always asked if I'm interviewing for a job somewhere else .

The PC jacket and associated items are definitely too dressy for work and for the pub -- ditto the tie(s) and cummerbund.

After talking it over with my daughter, we've tentatively decided on the following:

Kilt.
Burgundy button-down shirt which matches part of the tartan (yes, matchy-matchy is good ).
Black kilt hose with the tartan flashes.
Ghillie brogues (a bit dressy but oh so Scottish).
Cap, belt, sporran, sgian dhu, etc.

What thinkest thou?
