Another Wedding Thread

Hummm, we need to be careful here. I would call a tweed jacket and plain(ish) sporran, day attire-------suit equivalent----- and the Black Barathea Silver Buttoned Argyll(BBSBA) , drop down tie and a slightly more elaborate(if one wishes)sporran as the more formal morning attire-------- a tailed morning coat equivalent-----.

I don't know if we are suffering the cursed mixed terminology syndrome that Scottish tailors are prone to have with attire, but to my knowledge from !940 onwards as far as I am aware, tweed attire has been suit equivalent and the BBSBA has been formal day attire. Of course since the 1970's the kilt hire industry has muddied the waters even more with their often conflicting and inaccurate advice, sadly illustrated so well with their myriad of unhelpful internet pictures.

Sadly Kilt Hire and Pipe bands will likely continue to drive what's fashionable.

Sadly Kilt Hire and Pipe bands will likely continue to drive what's fashionable.

Yes the kilt hire aspect will continue to thrive as almost all of their clients have little idea, or care, of what it means to dress traditionally. Fortunately there are still those that are aware that there are demarkation lines between band attire and what is traditional civilian kilt attire and how and when it is worn.
