Descriptions of Highland Attire in the Katherine Kurtz Adept Series

[Bugbear]

Actually it is contemporary Highland attire.

I'm not sure if the kilt worn by the musician in the first post is wearing a solid green kilt or just a kilt with a lot of green in the tartan; that is unclear from the book.

A long while back, someone criticized the wearing of a watch with white tie attire when I brought up the description of Adam's outfit (second post).

Still seems strange that there was no description of a silver cantle and sporran in that outfit.

Huh? Were they meaning wrist or pocket? To me it just seems strange not to wear a watch (any kind) to an event.

I think I was once told that at white tie events you shouldnt be looking at your watch (something about it being rude) so its best not to bring one.

Then again i might be making it up

I believe that is meant to be the rule with black tie as well.

In a formal setting you shouldn't be concerned with the time.
