For the day time events wear the Grey Crail Jacket, Hunting Stewart 6yd med wt 13 oz, Black leather standard 3 tassle sporran, possibly with the bottle green hose and the bottle green wool tie.

For the "dressy" evening events, go for the Prince Charlie,Matching PC waistcoat (batwing shirt and bow tie of course), Knotwork cuff links, Cameron of Erracht 8yd 16-18 oz, Formal black belt, Formal off white rabbit and silver sporran, Off White hose, Red Flashes, and Ghillie Brogues

Just my 2 cents.

I like this combo. The only change I would make would be to leave off the formal belt with the PC outfit. Your waistcoat would cover it up. And if your kilt fits properly, you shouldn't need a belt to hold it up.

Oops, didn't notice I put that on there. I basically copied the list and delted the stuff that was not needed. I have never worn a belt with my waistcoat either. It would feel and look too odd.

I must admit I have been 'guilty' of wearing a Prince Charlie with waistcoat and belt (AND I have the wedding pics to prove it...)

However, when things hot up and the dancing gets underway, and the jackets and waistcoats come off, you might be glad you brought the belt along just to wrap around your midriff.

That sound's like a winner. I wish I had that day wear rig! I need some stuff in bottle green and a crail jacket.

I agree with Colin and Heathbar. I especially like the Cameron of Erracht colors for formal wear.

and I like the colours of the Hunting Stewart next to Grey tweed in the day time. Blackwatch I have found is just too dark for evening events, but the Cameron is awesome.

My thoughts were that the Hunting Stewart kilt was the lightest kilt he had and would be better durring the hot part of the day.
As for the the evening wear, Blackwatch isn't very exciting in my opinion and also very dark. The Cameron just has more color. That's me stating the obvious.

From one PhD to another, congrats on finishing your dissertation and graduating. You may actually have a mildly normal life now. I don't much advice other than be yourself and be comfortable. Cheers!
