My formal kilt outfit

[ChromeScholar]

Quite a few, all good. One lady asked me to back up (she was sitting behind a table) so she could see my knees. People kept telling me that someone else was wearing a kilt. I kept my eyes open but never saw him.

went off with-out a hitch except for the camera batteries dying before we got pics that night.

Well that and the electricity gremlins turning off the projector at inopportune moments...

Not bad! You might think about a dress sporran if you're going to do many formal events. I got a very nice one from Frugal Corner at a good price.

Otherwise, I'd say you pulled it off very well.

Very natty outfit, Chromescholar! Congratulations in pulling it off so well.

Looks great, who says a SWK can't be worn as formal wear----you might consider a more formal sporran next time, but otherwise..........excellent!!!!

I may be totally wrong, but I don't see myself doing enough formal events to warrant putting a bunch of money into a formal outfit. That's why I decided to go with a modified Eton jacket to begin with. I will buy a dress sporran at some point, but it's way down on the list, below a new kilt in MacPherson red, and a brown day sporran from WhatPriceGlory.

Good job man! I'll be doing something similar very soon.

Thanks for showing me that it can be done with style!

I was just thinking about what I actually have invested in that kit...

Kilt = $30.00
Shirt = $18.00
Jacket = $56.00 (plus R_R_S' priceless labor/advice modifying it)
Tie = $5.00
Hose = $12.00
Flashes = free
Shoes = $35.00
Sporran = $22.50
Belt = $22.50
Kilt Pin = $5.75
Sporran belt = $14.95

Total = $221.70

This was all purchased over basically 4 months as I could afford it.

You've done extremely well to get such a great looking rig with that amount of moolah. On the good looks per $ scale, I'd say you can't beat that outfit. Very well done!
