help on jacket and bow tie color for Robbie Burns suppers

[FossilHunter]

it’s tweed

I’d probably go black then since most other guys are likely to wear the same.

Seeing if the event has a dress code would make it even more straight forward.

The problem I find is that most people either ignore or are unaware of the dress code. My last highland event (“full dress” recommended on the website) had men in PCs, tweed argyles, doublets, business suits, and I think one tuxedo. Just all over the place. The unclear dress code didn’t help but I imagine most just wore whatever kilt outfit they owned.
