I was thinking today that some might think a Kilt/Argyle or whatever set up you might have could look rather un-American. (which is fair enough)

But that got me thinking, what would most suits be considered? I have heard of expensive 'Italian" suits, and it leaves me wondering if the American equivalent to the Formalwear world is that blasted white suit outfit that Harlan Sanders of KFC wears? Is a standard tux basically a French/European thing? Does that mean a full Kilt outfit is just as proper as a normal tux, simply because neither are really 'American' ? I'm not suggesting an issue with the kilt, but is there really an 'American' equivalent, and if there is, is it really the white suit from the south?
