    Can or should one dress down the formal attire using a Brian Boru or PC jacket? In other words, can one still wear the jacket slightly less formalized with out a tux shirt and black tie?

    Thanks,

    The Brian Boru, Prince Charlie Coatee, and Regulation doublet are all "one trick ponies". They only do one thing, and that is black tie formal (which they do very well).

    If you want the ability to dress up or down follow Brian's suggestion and go with the black argyll.

    Take a look at this thread to see how they can be dressed up or down

    Spefically look at my photos #7 and #8 to see how the argyll jacket can move up or down in formality

    Hope this was of help

    Cheers
