Hi all,

I'm another kilt/forum newbie and I'm going to be attending my first kilted event next weekend in northern California. Problem is, I don't have a formal kilt jacket of any type. The event, which is a Clan Donald Glencoe memorial, consists of a daytime ceremony and a dinner. A dress code listed on the invitation says a "kilt with kilt shirt or day wear jacket" is appropriate for the ceremony, but for the dinner attire is say "kilt with Prince Charlie". I did recently purchase a tweed jacket and waistcoat which I am planning on wearing for the ceremony, but I figured it may be too casual for the dinner. I know I have a few options because it mentions you may wear slacks and a dress shirt if you "don't have a kilt", but since I do have a kilt I would like to wear it if possible.

So I feel like my options are:

1. Wear my kilt with a dress shirt and tie only
2. Wear my kilt with tweed waistcoat/jacket or perhaps only one of them
3. Give in a wear slacks and a dress shirt (I do have Macdonald tartan suspenders and tie to at least represent in the absence of a kilt)

Thanks ahead of time for any advice you may provide!
