In lieu of a tux?

[Kilted_John]

I just got some black socks for no other reason than I'm expecting a Black Stewart kilt in the mail; I'd never wear them otherwise. I wear hose that compliment the primary color of my kilt; I'm not trying to imitate Darth Vader. For formal wear, I wear either diced or Argyll hose in my tartan (I don't wear white socks either).

Or, would you be Darth Kilter? ;-) Sorry, just in one of those moods tonight...

A choir is about a group, not about individuals. Unless you are a featured soloist (so that setting yourself apart from the rest of the choir makes sense) I would stay with the required uniform.

I applaud your desire to wear the kilt but this maybe one of those times when it is not appropriate.

Good luck!

I agree

Just another opinion here, and it's mine, so not worth much, but I think a cumberbumb looks dumb with a kilt! I should also say that I don't much like it with a regular tux either..... much better to use the vest!

I have to agree with this. It seems to me that the director is trying to establish a uniform appearance for the choir. In this case I feel you should bow to his wishes.

Of course, if you could get everyone else in a kilt, that would be the best idea.

We used it in place of a tux on a cruise (sorry for the large size)

We got rave reviews..

You gents need to hitch up those kilts. The white shirt should not be showing between the vest and the kilt.

Some would tell you not to wear a vest and a belt together.

Coemgen, I think you made the right decision to stay in uniform.

I agree - make the look as uniform to the choir as possible.

Use the tie they use, black hose aren't a bad touch, and if you have a Black Shadow tartan from Stillwater, you'll definitely clean up.

My son did this in his high school choir last year, with the director's permission, and he looked great...according to all the young ladies!

He was definitely one of the best dressed there, and drew no undue attention to himself as a result. A tasteful and terrific combo.

Let us know how it goes!

This is basically what I'm going for; I may or may not have a black kilt by the time of the performance, but if I don't, I'll wear something dark. I'm with the basses, and we're in the back, so if I wear black hose it should look fine.
