Which outfit is "more Scottish?"

[Highland Logan]

I mean no offence here, but Bob's answer clearly demonstrates the difference between how I perceive you Americans see things and how us Scots see things. We Scots prefer the low profile "less is more " approach, Bob, batting for the USA, on the other hand likes the more showy approach. Each to their own.

Well, maybe, but the greater influence on my suggestion is that male teachers wore jackets and ties when I was in school. The teachers in my daughters' school wear ties and the administrators wear suits. I think the jacket and tie are appropriate.

I think you are missing Jock Scot' point. He was fine with a jacket and tie... but a plain tweed day dress jacket, not a black barathea Argyll with the silver buttons, which is somewhat the equivalent of morning dress, and very flashy.
