Sir Robert,
In answer to your questions...
(1) Doing a goth kilt outfit (be it club wear or formal) is rather easy as there are no set rules for such. It is up to the individual's taste. A quick visit to a Hot Topic clothing store will surely give you ideas.
(2) A formal doublet is considered white tie equivalent. I am fairly confident that such things as white Prince Charlie coatees and such are modern constructs and their color doesn't make them anymore formal than a black one. Unless I was playing a part of some sort of musical I can't see myself wearing an all white coatee or doublet.
(3) Being that the purpose of these photos was for Glen and I to show how one kilt can range from very casual to very formal, the belted plaid (or "great kilt" doesn't really fit in with the scope of the project. The only time I wear one is for Renaissance Faire (with full knowledge it is historically inaccurate by at least a couple of decades). Belted plaids always look costume-like to me, however Matt Newsome and a few others on XMTS have sported plaids with their kilts that give a similar look to the belted plaid without the impression of making their outfit a costume.
I hope these answers are of help.
Cheers
Jamie

Also would there not be a white jacket/white tie one notch more formal that Panashe's "No.10 White Tie"?
P.S. Where does a great kilt fall in this spectrum?
