Black tie event.....help?

[MacLowlife]

Vicar, I do hope you won't let the matter of a hundred dollars or so get in the way of looking truly great. Those STM diced hose come in at $110 US and I suspect they are the sort of thing that would set you apart from the lesser kilted creatures there and earn their undying admiration for a gent who can straddle the line between sober dignity and highland elegance.

As for the jabot, they can easily be made at little expense, if you can't afford Mrs Matt's handiwork.

Please understand, the following is not meant to reflect on you or any other XMarks member, but is just good sound McGiver lore:


A while back we discussed how one could make an impromptu jabot from almost any frilly undergarment. This is very good to know should one be discovered by one's wife in possession of an otherwise unfamiliar item of such description. A quick thinking lad will twist the article slightly and attach it to his collar- evidence, darling? why No, this is my new jabot.

No offence taken at all. : )

I am most thankful for all the input that the X Marker's community is willing to put into my situation.

If a suggestion works with the kilt that is great! I am just a bit worried about having to buy an entire different outfit on my salary! : o

Any suggestion that helps put me into a proper look with what I have or what I can get only makes life a little bit easier.

Thanks again for the support.

Blk and Blue hose are not easy to find?

I no longer believe in the black tie jabot, MacLowlife. I've been cured.
