Dressing down the Brian Boru/PC

Hi Jack, indeed.

Do you need someone to point out that a black shirt is probably NOT traditional highland wear? In light of the posts just above?


Otherwise, it sounds like it will work, assuming you like that black-on-black look. Just be prepared to sing RING OF FIRE and I WALK THE LINE.

Meanwhile, some of us would suggest a white shirt.

I now return control of your computer screens to you.

Since this is in Traditional Highland Dress, heres my answer, which is a quote from The Scottish Clans and their Tartans;

"For formal wear the Highland dress naturally lends itself to the glittering ornaments, cairngorms, braiding, and velvet or tartan doublets, which combine with the tartans to enhance that rich variety of costume which accords with the history and instincts of the Highlander. Attempts by self-conscious Lowlanders to convert the picturesque dress of the Gael into a "quiet style" and to deprive the garb of its ornaments or reduce it to the drab monotony of Anglo-Saxon evening clothes are un-Scottish and contemptible."
