Short notice wedding invite...

[Silent Raven]

Okay so my girlfriend just let me know that we are going to a wedding... in about 3 hours! The wedding is for one of her coworkers and she wasnt sure of the dress (formal/semi-formal) so i was just looking to see what people thought of some of outfit options. Now i know there are countless threads about weddings and wedding attire but I have limited time and limited clothing options. so here is what i have come up with...

OPTION 1

OPTION 2

OPTION 3


Now all of these will be worn with sporran, hose and regular brogues.

What kind of sporran do you have?

The kilt doesn't look right to my eye, I can't place it but somethings not sitting right.

Also with the PC jacket you really want to be wearing a bow tie the regular tie just doesn't look right.
If a bow tie is too formal then the PC defiantly is the wrong jacket to wear.

I would go with Option 3. A coat and tie is never too much for a wedding, unless ultra informal dress has been widely advised. You can always remove the coat and the tie if you feel over dressed.

the pics are a bit fuzzy but the kilt is a stillwater nightstalker, it is a tad long for me, but havent had a chance to get it hemmed yet. other than that its normal. I would wear a bow tie but dont have one yet, still looking. i know the neck tie isnt quite kosher but its all i got.

im pretty sure its not ultra-informal, but i maybe i will bring the coat in case. thanks!

If you don't have a bow tie then a PC just doesn't look right. My advice would be shirt and tie with a nice leather sporran (SWK Leather cargo minimum) not the full dress at home if it's informal. If you can't do that then my advice would have to be a suit!

P.S. How long is too long for you kilt? If it's way past your knees the hose won't look right

P.P.S. I have a SWK heavyweight and I wouldn't wear it to a wedding because while it is good for the cash compared to a proper kilt well there's no competition

I like option 3 best because you can always downgrade by taking something off, but I agree that you should grab a bow tie on your way over.

What about the left buckle? Is it buckled too tightly? It looks like the pleats behind the apron are disturbed.

My favorite is option 2


And as far as the fit goes, it looks as though it may be to big in the waist? And a bit too long? Pictures tend to emphasize things however.


When all is said and done, good luck!

I have a black leather sporran. the kilt isnt too long, its just a bit further passed the center of my knee than it should be.

the buckles are not any tighter than the stock holes on the straps.

i would pick up a bow tie if i had any idea of where to get one??

Remember, it's not your fault you were given such short notice! I dig number 2, like stated above.

Maybe the waist coat, different jacket, and no tie?..
