New Year's Eve

I will probably wear a waistcoat with the outfit just for the added warmth. It's supposed to be cloudy and drop down to around 40 degrees in my area on Saturday night. I can always take the jacket off at the party if it gets too warm.

If I'm understanding you guys correctly, I should go with a tweed jacket, button down shirt, tie, casual sporran, kilt, kilt belt, hose, maybe flashes and shoes to match the sporran and belt.

Right. Or somewhere between Jamie's #4 look and Glen's #5 look in this thread: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-attire-46888/

Bingo!

Another possibility: Here in California "business casual" for guys often seems to mean slacks, sport coat, and open-neck shirt with no tie (or something like a turtleneck). Tweed jacket with a knit wool V-neck sweater-vest and open-neck shirt could work very well here.

I'd wear a tweed jacket and waistcoat with a simple leather day, or head-on sporran.

Cheers,

Rob Roy for me

I hadn't thought about wearing a turtle neck with a tweed jacket like in Jamie's look #4 or maybe his look #7 or Grant's look #5 in http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-attire-46888/ with the Rob Roy sporran.

Robert,

Hard to beat a turtleneck shirt and a tweed jacket. It says relaxed, comfortable, and stylish. It also doesn't attract unwanted looks if it is a notch below or above the rest of the crowd's formality level. The Buzz kidder sporran is a simple, practical, and handsome one. It will fit with the jacket and shirt well

Good choice in my opinion

Cheers

Jamie

If bsiness casual is taken as trousers and a shirt with a collar, then I'd likely say that a kilt with a sweater and a collared shirt (no tie) would be more akin to business casual... Of course I'd suspect busness casual is the minimum requested (ie no jeans and training shoes)...
