Get whichever one you want. I personally like the Black Stewart, but you're the one who has to wear it.

I've got a black suitcoat, but will that look okay with a kilt? I'm also planning on just wearing some off-white hose and black loafers. (Remember, I'm on an "egaged college student" budget)
Unless you are going to functions where everyone else is wearing a tuxedo, you don't need a Prince Charlie. However, don't wear a regular suit jacket either. They are too long to wear with a kilt. Check out the threads about kilt jackets here and you should get some ideas. Some of the folks here have even taken a suit jacket and modified it into a kilt jacket.

Everything I have ordered from Stillwater has arrived in 2-3 working days. They are very fast in their shipping.
