Wedding question

[csbdr]

Just wanted a quick opinion. I just went from being a guest at my brother-in-laws wedidng to being IN it as a usher. I had been plannning to wear a tweed jacket and vest with my kilt, but now feel like something a bit sharper may be called for. This is not a kilted weding, but he wants me to wear the kilt as an usher. He is getting married in October, on a Sunday morning. It is also not a very formal or even organised affair. I think he is having his ushers wear what they wish, so likely suits. I asked him how the others would be sdressed, and he said no tuxedos, but then was vague regarding anything else, saying there is "no real expected dress...) whatever that means.

Anyway, I was considering getting a black jacket to wear instead of the tweed, and was wondering if that would be the best choice? Obviously nothing more formal than that is warrented.

I think the black Barathea is a good choice! A dash of style without too much formality. Although it almost sounds like your tweed would work. To be on the safe side, I would run your ideas past the bride if I were you.
Congratulations to your brother and his future wife, and to you on a new member of the family!!

A tweed doublet and waistcoat is perfectly acceptable wear for an usher at a daytime wedding. It certainly corresponds to the suits that the other men would be wearing. I see no need to wear anything more, although there is nothing wrong with going ahead and getting a black argyll jacket if you want one.

Tweed kilt attire is just perfect for a wedding. Anything more would be over the top, unless you are talking about ultra formal, which you are not.

A tweed jacket would be fine. But if it were me, I'd wear a black barathea argyll jacket.

I agree with them, a tweed jacket would do just fine or a black argyll. gives you another reason to buy the argyll if you don't already have one. And by all means, ask the bride what she would like!

I am going to sound a bit of a know all here, and I really don't mean to be. BUT-----------The black barathea argyll,particularly with silver buttons is the most formal of formal day wear, equivalent to a morning suit(top hat and tails). Just trying to be helpful, that's all.

That's why I like it.

What color is your tweed jacket? Is it a kilt jacket or a suit jacket?

[Jock Scot]

That's why I like it.

Remember that the wedding in question is not formal so formal dress would be inappropriate and secondly and far more importantly, don't break the cardinal rule of a wedding guest " do not out shine the bride, ever!".
