    Semi-Dress or Daywear?

    A few weeks ago I picked up a second-hand Charcoal Arrochar Tweed Braemar jacket & waistcoat from a Scottish etsy store for an extremely reasonable price.

    I reveal my age a bit here (and perhaps my class), but it's the first time I've owned anything approaching formal wear, and had to pick up a few accessories prior to showing off to you fine folks. Here in California, this is probably about as formal as I'll ever need to be. I took a few photos of the jacket combinations, as well as a few color combos with flashes, hose, and ties.

    Few questions for the rabble:
    • Am I getting close to semi-dress, day wear, or not quite either?
    • Which color combination do you like the best?
    • Should ties and flashes always match?
    • Also open to any and all feedback here: am I wearing everything right?


    Ties, flashes, pin, and ancient green lewis hose fresh in from USA Kilts. 8-Yard Fraser Gathering Hunting kilt from Celtic Craft Centre, worn with USA Kilts Kilt Extension Straps. Day sporran and navy blue hose from Kilt Society. Smith boots from Altra Running.

    P.S. Pardon the sloppy windsor, this is the first (and second) time I've tied one.
