Shirts & Argyll Jackets

[Jock Scot]

Bob C has it nearly right whan he says"the Prince Charlie is equivalent to a tux(YES!) and a Montrose/Sheriffmuir is equivalent to tails(YES!.Evening tails ,White tie etc.).A tweed Argyll is equivalent to a sports coat"(NO!NO!NO!).My words in brackets.

Let me explain.A TWEED Argyll is equivalent to a suit.A BLACK SILVER BUTTONED Argyll is equivalent to a MORNING SUIT,the sort of tailed suit that is for a really formal wedding.

There is not really a sports coat in kilt terms.There is no reason to say that you can't wear a tweed Argyll as a sports coat if you want to.It just pays to know what you are doing though.
