    I will point out that the Prince Charlie Coatee was, from its introduction around 1900 up until the Rise Of The Kilt Hire Industry in the 1970s, reckoned to be an Evening Dress jacket and was intended to be worn, and was worn, following the customary Evening Dress norms of the period.

    That is:
    -kilt
    -Evening Dress jacket
    -white shirt
    -bow tie, or lace jabot
    -Evening Dress sporran (seal w/ silver top, or alternatively long white hair w/ silver top)
    -tartan or diced full hose
    -buckled brogues

    The pipers below wearing Prince Charlie Coatees are in ordinary Evening Dress from the knees up, but in ordinary Day Dress from the knees down, as Day and Evening dress were done c1910-1970
