Advice for formal attire

Heh .. well it's my mother in law .. and her answer to her source is likely to be "Well I'm scottish!"

She doesn't often know what she's talking about (even my future-wife will attest to that .. ) and tends to carried away. Her parents are extremely traditional in some ways and that probably has alot to do with it. We've had to be very firm with them a few times about the fact that it's our wedding, and not theirs, and that things will be as we want, not how they want.

Anyways I've talked about my outfit quite a lot with my fiancee and she agrees that as long as it's not improper, which appears to be the case, then I should wear it. And so wear it I will .. :mrgreen:

Well...

If you're happy with it, and your bride is happy with it, I say "go for it."

Any further discussion beyond that is moot, wouldn't you say?

Well that is the most important thing.

That said I will say that I am not a fan of a plaid with the PC. I think it is much better with a more substantial jacket as it quite often pulls on the jacket as you move around. I think the plaid works best with a doublet like a Montrose. It also works fine with a tweed argyle but I find it gets in the way for everyday wear.

Certainly you can wear what you want, just wanted to give you an idea of how I advise my clients. By the way your MIL is incorrect about who may wear a plaid.
