Apprpriate dress for ceremonial occasion

[Liam]

I am about to get my first kilt, which will be Canadian Maple Leaf. For the past many years I have been selected to represent Canada at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day. I will be doing the same again this year. This is not a formal occasion, so I do not wear a tuxedo, but rather it has been my habit to wear a dark suit. So when I wear my kilt to perform this duty this year, I would not be wearing it with a formal "evening" jacket and bow tie. I would of course not want to be casually dressed either. Just as the military present do not wear their dress uniforms. My question is about the proper jacket/tie and accoutrements that I should wear with my kilt for this formal, but not "evening formal" occasion. I do have a goodly selection of tweed jackets (some dating to the 1970s) to choose from, if that is appropriate.

Further to my note, an appropriate dark tie would be perfectly acceptable.

As a fellow Canadian, I would see it perfectly apppropriate to wear the official tartan of our country to honour our fallen at a Remembrance Day Ceremony. The Maple Leaf tartan is a national symbol and I too wear it on both Remembrance Day and Canada Day, with pride. Those who suggest that the kilt is a Scottish only icon know very little about the history of Commonwealth countries, (or particularly Canada). I would suggest a grey tweed jacket, perhaps with a Canadian Legion tie if you have one.
