traditional vs. classic

[Panache]

Oh absolutely. But REALLY, a Prince Charlie coatee during the day?

Scott,

I am of course assuming that any formal Highland Games would start after 6:00 PM (and use a lighted field).

The only real question is do we start with a sherry social before the opening ceremonies?

In all seriousness, I too have seen Prince Charlie Coatees and Black Argylls sported during the day at a Highland Games and they just don't look right. I may not be an "auld crabbit" but I have a tweed jacket and two twill cotton ones that serve me quite well for such events.

I have worn my Argyll to afternoon performances of the Nutcracker Ballet, but being as I was the only one sporting a dressy jacket of any sort it was hard to determine if I was overdressed or not. Somehow the ballet, even an afternoon performance seems to call for something more formal than tweed. It is difficult to judges though. You see from the standpoint of wearing a jacket or sport coat of any sort, compared to the rest of the adult male patrons there, I was seriously overdressed. Howvever there were gentlemen there with ties, I believe they were all ushers

sigh

Oh well

Cheers
