Cheers for the prompt reply Colin. Yeah, black tie and morning dress. Just to confuse the issue, I think your reference to an oxford brogue translates to a derby in the UK. Our oxford is your "balmoral"?! I was thinking an Oxford (balmoral) brogue would be fine for morning dress, but not sure how it would suit with black tie in the evening?

Just drifting off thread, what's on your kilt instead of a pin? Looks nifty
