Black on black on Black (kilt ninja style for wedding)

If you're not wearing a tie, then I would wear the jacobite, although the banded collar mentioned earlier has merit.

Give the guy a break! His wedding day will be the last time he's allowed to decide anything for himself!

My choice would be to avoid the Jacobite shirt, but I would be careful in my choice of dress shirt: I would try to get one that has a collar constructed in such a way that it doesn't look to 'bare' without a tie.

All the best,

How about a banded collar shirt?

I prefer the jacobite shirt, but I think both would look fine, since it sounds like more of a casual-look wedding. Wear what you both like.

You're a lucky man! Some of the members at XMTS would have to wear p***s to appease the MIL! Give you prospective MIL a hug from me!

I would go black dress shirt and black tie. I just find the jacobite shirts to be too costume-ish. Some people can pull it off for a dressier occasion(Pour1malt), but usually the jacobite shirts look better suited for a day in the park for the highland games.

I would go for the black dress shirt and add either a black, silver, or white tie to dress it up. I am a fan of the black dress shirt with a kilt. Heck, you could likely find a plain black vest at a tux shop and tie it all together.

Panache had a good pic of the black on black, but I can't find it yet.

Not a black kilt, but with a black dress shirt and silver tie

I'd go with the plain black shirt, but it doesn't matter what I think, what does your Wife-to-be think you should wear?

She is moving towards plain black shirt. We were going to go with teh jacobite shirt but the references to Jerry Seinfeld put us off.

I don't wear it often, but with that thought I may never wear it again.

Hey, what's not to like? That shirt is now in the Smithsonian

Best regards,

Jake

I was going to go no tie as it is a relxed event. However the black on black tie is an interesting idea. Most guests will be in shirt and pants rather than suits as it is likely to be 30c or above on the day. www.witherhills.co.nz

As long as I don't forget my vowels I am sure it will be great.
