I am considering ordering an Inverness cape through the Scottish Inverness Cape Company.

I was originally simply going to get it in black barathea besause I had in mind the Burn's night attire ( I have mentioned before that our events are a kitchen sink sort of thing. Everything from jacobite shirts to velvet doublets.)

While I would be wearing it whith my doublet, it would be a shame to be limited to wearing it once or twice a year.

The question I have is, would the dark blue mix tweed be out of place for a more formal event?

I would get more use out of it in the tweed, but as I have to hit the lottery, two Inverness capes are out of the question.
