Weathered Tartan: Only day wear, or formal wear, too?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

While the colors of some tartans might lend themselves more for formal wear or casual wear, you can in fact dress any tartan up or down. It is not the tartan that makes an outfit formal or casual, but the way in which you accessorize it. Remember, most kilt wearers will have only one nice kilt in their family tartan and it must serve them for any event they want to attend kilted. I've seen plenty weathered tartans at formal functions.

There is no reason why you couldn't wear the weathered Davidson with a black jacket and all the rest of the formal kit.

And just FYI, Prince Charlies don't have to be black, as a couple of posts here have implied. You can get them pretty easily in other colors, including navy blue and bottle green. However, black is the classic color, and to match your weathered Davidson I'd definitley recommend the black.

I agree with Mr. Newsome here, as far back as I can remember everyone one associates FORMAL with BLACK. Just as he stated the PC comes in other colors
depending which goes with your kilt and your preferences.

My self I prefer the Black im my jackets, thought I'm about to try a tweed for casual in both the jacket and waist coat.

It is entirely up to you. In my family tartan I prefer the ancient over the Hunting the modern or the weathered. But that's just me.
