A question of appropriate

[Drac]

If I was the host I would have no problem with that outfit, although I think that those hard earned medals would need to be left behind for this occasion.

But I am not the host. So you do need to pay heed to what is required by your hosts. Medals might be worn, your kilt attire may be acceptable in this case, who knows? Well, your hosts do! So to avoid a tricky scene at the door of the event which neither you, your lovely lady, your hosts, or the other guests want, then it is down to YOU to find out what is the acceptable attire. One of the few things that ever sank in with my not very illustrious military career was the very appropriate saying; "time spent in reconnaissance is seldom waisted" and in you case here, that rings oh so true! Ask those that know---the hosts------no one else-------job done.

We are hoping but if the kilt does not make the grade for the Ball I wouldn't even think of trying to wear it against their request. On the medal I didn't even think to ask. I figured it wasn't a military function so I would leave them at home.

Be sure to get out to the Cajun Triangle and see rural Mardi Gras:

Thanks, will check those out for futre trips. Also have a Mud Bug festival in Shreveport that is on the list, much to Amy's discust.

If the kilt is approved I just wanted to check. Since this isn't a Highland event and is a conservative event I take it that I should go with a plain hose vs. these?
