Thanks for the info! I'm going to print that out so I can keep it and reference it when I do look to buy a formal get-up.

ok...stupid girl question here..but can one of you gents tell me the difference between a cravat and a tie? I thought they were the same thing...also, the diff between a four-in-hand and an ascot.
I've always liked the look of those morning tux outfits I see in the tux books around prom time. I was wondering if you could modify that light colored formal look... to fit a nice kilt outfit? Would it work?

Thank you so much for a helpful and informative post that will no doubt save many people on this forum considerable $. I'm very impressed with all the time and work you put into the post. Not only do I think this post should be sticky, I hearby nominate you for the Nobel Kilt Prize. Anyone second?

[cloves]

I second! and not just for his work in this particular thread.

Wow! If I had done this instead of getting a Prince Charlie and a inexpensive kilt I could have had enough for a tank. Great information. Thanks.

We've got a move and a second, all in favor say AYE!!
