Prom advice

[Tartan Hiker]

Well, here's another vote for ditching the fly and gillies and using the cash to buy a nicer sporran that will serve you well into the future.

While I'm adding my $.02, I'd also suggest going with a tartan, any tartan, rather than a solid color, considering the venue.

I'm personally a big fan of plaids, and I'd recommend e-mailing Stillwater and inquiring about how soon the saffron plaids will be available. I know they've carried them before, I think they just may be out of stock temporarily.

Also, ghillies are typically Scottish. If you plan to wear the saffron, I'd recommend normal dress shoes.

I agree for 100%

Based on what Coemgen wrote earlier...

... I need something that looks good, and appropriate. The head of the school's pipe band always shows up, as well as the teacher who is an immigrant - from Scotland. Combined, they are to Kilt Police what Hermann Wilhelm Göring was to the Gestapo. I don't particularly mind getting yelled at because my sporran is an inch too high, but I would like to get past with merely a glare and a grunt, as opposed to a rant about getting "the real thing" (i.e., a $1,000.00+ outfit hand made in Scotland)

...I'd say go Irish and side step comparrison to Custom Made Scottish Kilts.
Perhaps a nice Harp or Shamrock kilt pin to go with with the ensemble.
Kilted KT had some pictures up of him wearing a PC Jacket with a Stillwater Heavyweight Saffron and the result was quite handsome. Make sure to get the matching flashes. You can always email Jerry at Stillwater and see if he has an ETA on the Saffron plaids. The Celtic Croft (another X Marks sponsor has some pretty reasonable (under $50) economy sporrans and I think the leather semidress sporran very nice for the money (it's not sturdy enough for heavy every day use but for the odd formal occassion it's great.)
