Chesterfield Coat?

[creagdhubh]

I very much appreciate the input Jock and everyone else.

As a summary of the recommendations here it would appear that the consensus is either to wear no overcoat, to wear a causal coat that is preferably somehow connected with Scotland (like a Barbour coat), OR if you really need a formal overcoat for the occasion go big or go home. The Inverness is the highland equivalent of the Chesterfield coat and nothing else compares.

I think I have been persuaded that for an event that really calls for a formal overcoat while kilted, the only real solution is the Inverness Cape/Coat if it really matters. And if it doesn't then a casual coat would suffice since you are checking it at the door anyway.

Looks like I need to either start saving for the Inverness or figure out a way to make one.

This thread has been very helpful to me and I hope to others as well.

Slainte to all.
