NOTE THIS IS MY PERSPECTIVE & is from the POSITION of what is ACCEPTED DRESS by my PEERS.

( note- I wear my jackets in various circumstances from "Casual Business to "Dress Business" (Corporate meetings, Board meetings,etc.) I also "dine out" ( Casual Dinner to Dressier Diners (non formal))

The ARGYLL Jacket, IMHO, is equivalent to a SPORTS JACKET. A TWEED is a TWEED, whether worn with a Kilt or Dockers/ nice slacks. Even this Jacket with a vest, would be classified as a "Blazer"
If I wore these in "Dressier situations, my Peers would consider me not "properly Attired, Kilt or NOT. Also if I escorted my Daughter to a Play & Dinner ( Dressier but not formal) She would be "embarrassed"

The more proper Jacket for "dressier occasions", IMHO, would be either the "Braermar" or IMHO, the Crail. ( Think 3 pc Suit)

I too wear the Braemar and Argyll jackets pictured to business meetings, to going out for dinner, etc. I do say in my original post that the Argyll pictured is indeed day wear only as I see it. Respectfully you can have any opinion you want, however we are still talking about Highland Attire, whether your peers know highland attire or not should not come into the equation. The verbiage I quoted is from Scotweb, they certainly know Highland Attire. It is their opinion and the opinion of many other including myself that I have posted. Like it or not there are rules to Traditional Highland attire, as was posted in an earlier thread Highland Attire should be the same anywhere in the world except where the weather would preclude it.
