Headed to the Navy Ball again
Hey all,
Getting ready for the Navy Ball again this weekend. Planning to step it up from last year. I will be leaving the Sport Kilt behind and am trying to decide between two kilts. One is a Kathy Lare Lamont (the leader) and a PV Gordon (Gordons, military, it's a good match). Both look great. Since I will probably be the only person kilted I doubt there will be any kilt police there. So I don't think anyone would be getting close enough to tell the differance.
I will be picking up a hand tie bow tie this weekend due to the comments from last year's review. I have a nice set of hand knitted hose coming in for my birthday Friday. I'm not sure what color since it is suppose to be a surprise. I have a set of red garters instead of the flashes. I also have upgraded my Sport Kilt day sporran to a nice blask hunter from Skye Highland Outfitters.
This year will be Formal/Black Tie optional civilian. I would assume that this would fall into PC but no vest? Also should I go with a dress belt and buckle or a cumberbun? If cumberbun, pleats up or down? I see both ways all over the Net. I will be miniture medals but I would figure not fly plaid? Granted I know there is a crowd who are against fly plaids ever but I do like them. I would guess that if no waist coat, no plaid?
Thanks all,
Jim
