Proper Funeral Jacket.

[pascs]

The feeling of traditionalists in Scotland is that black jackets are not suitable for outdoor or daytime wear, and tweed is preferred, be it charcoal or Lovat or what have you. They think it odd that Americans nearly universally wear black tuxedos for outdoor and daytime weddings.

That is not the experience that I have from where I live in Scotland. The majority of men had only one kilt jacket and this was usually black and would be worn to all occasions. Many weddings that I went to, including my own, the majority of men wore black kilt jackets regardless of the time of day. It is only recently that the charcoal jacket has started to become popular at weddings and I would say was started by the younger generation looking for something less formal than black. This is just my experience and could well be different in other parts of Scotland.
