You guys are the best. Stillwater it is. They have the green solid in my size in heavy weight.

Do you all think that would look good if I rented an argyle jacket, cream hose and a dress shirt?

Buy the hose and dress shirt if you can afford them, you'll get plenty more use from them. I would advise a Prince Charlie for a wedding if you want a true formal look.

I know what Brian is saying but for me for a wedding in the US unless it is VERY formal or VERY Scottish I'd go with the Argyll. I love the look of the PC but unless the other guests are going to be in tuxes you'd be over-dressing.

I agree with both of you. I am getting married in Sept and for that I am wearing a PC. But for attending other weddings, I am trying to keep it a little less formal. I would like it to be dressy but not over done.

Side note Brian, I own the hose and shirt, I should have been more clear in my post. I will just be renting the jacket.
Thanks for the advice.

I love my SWK Green Heavyweight. Make sure to pick up green flashes as well as hose when you do. Have you thought about maybe having a regular jacket converted to a kilt jacket by a tailor? I don't know what it costs to rent one but for $40 - $90 you can have an argyle style of your own.

Don't forget to budget for a sporran belt, kilt belt, and sporran.

Cheers
