While stationed in Hawaii, a member then of Schofield Lodge, when the dress code called for tuxedo, I always wore a kilt and a PC. I never asked if it was OK, I just wore it.

I now live in California and continue this reasoning. When a tuxedo is called for, I wear my PC.

No problems!!!

There are many ways to get a PC without spending a bundle! One good way is to get an ex-rental tail coat and cut it down into a PC.

You should be able to do this for well under $100.00 :

Ex-rental coat = $30
Alterations = $40

Class coat = $70

Go for it!
