Thanks for the appreciation - and yes, that is the one I will wear for the supper.

Irish National for Thursday pub crawl. Maybe I can raid Anderson's on Friday and turn up with a new kilt on the Friday pub crawl

Robin, with so much good advice here, maybe you should just confer with Michelle, and thus present yourself as choosing your own clothes...

I dunno Robin. Hot crowded pubs might be a good environment for a lighter weight kilt. (Says the man standing in the pub holding a thick wool overcoat that hangs to the calf.)

Regardless I'm bringing mine for a multiple XMarks kilt photo op.

True, and from experience there is no great distance between pubs in Dumfries, so weight of kilt should be of little concern.

No need to appologise. I have no ambitions as to travelling light on return. I have ordered glass ware from Robertson, a trip to Anderson and Argos, as well as a set of Kilberry bagpipes waiting for me at Ferintosh...

Save some room for the Kool-Aid though. :mrgreen:

I read somewhere that years ago if a man wanted to show off his wealth he wore a red kilt as these were the most expensive. I don't know why that should be so, but maybe it's why the Royal Stewart is a red tartan. Anyway I always think that red tartans are the classiest and nearly always wear my dark red Prince Charles Edward Stewart kilt to the really 'dressy' do's with my P.C. and silver mounted sporran, (I hope to get a fly plaid in this tartan soon and when I do I can wear my dress dirk with it as well). So I would say wear your Caledonia tartan and show off !

For formal dress pick the most colorful. You want to stand out. It's what being a peacock is all about. The Caledonia is a good option. I don't know what the others look like. Save the subdued colors for everyday when you may not want to look so flashy. Also, the heavier fabric will look better and move better.
