Fly Plaid - When?!

[Cygnus]

The trouble is that in today's vernacular, if a host were to specify "informal evening dress", some might show up in jeans and a logo'ed tee shirt, sweats or even jammies.

Which only adds to my lamentations!

I SO commiserate. I am hopelessly enamoured with the Edwardian sartorial standard. It isn't that I'm uncomfortable dressing down at home sans guests, but that dinner out, for instance, would be much more pleasant if people took a little more care and pride in their appearance. I am quite willing to do my part.

As am I, David. As am I.

As am I, David. As am I.

And you do it very well, my friend. ***

Likewise, my friend. It's comforting to know I am not alone. ***!

I'd be quite happy if they'd just take off their baseball caps... *sigh*

Add actual shoes, not shower thongs, and I'm there.

I'm no authority on when to where this bit or that, however I will make this observation that may assist you. The company I work for is in Washington, DC, we have a branch in Glasgow, Scotland. A couple of years ago, about a dozen of the lads from Glasgow came over for our holiday party. All wore kilts with fly plaids. Take from that what you will.

I am not wishing to be contraversial here but, I make two observations. I think the "from Glasgow" might give us a clue here and secondly, I wonder how many of their outfits were hired?
