[Jock Scot]

Lovely choices there!

As per Jock Scot's advice, ---------------



I note that in 1910 this author calls his outfit with tweed jacket, plain hose, ordinary brogues, and plain brown leather sporran "Morning Dress" which well fits into the wedding photos Jock posted above.

-----------------

Hummm, we need to be careful here. I would call a tweed jacket and plain(ish) sporran, day attire-------suit equivalent----- and the Black Barathea Silver Buttoned Argyll(BBSBA) , drop down tie and a slightly more elaborate(if one wishes)sporran as the more formal morning attire-------- a tailed morning coat equivalent-----.

I don't know if we are suffering the cursed mixed terminology syndrome that Scottish tailors are prone to have with attire, but to my knowledge from !940 onwards as far as I am aware, tweed attire has been suit equivalent and the BBSBA has been formal day attire. Of course since the 1970's the kilt hire industry has muddied the waters even more with their often conflicting and inaccurate advice, sadly illustrated so well with their myriad of unhelpful internet pictures.
