Evening attire question

[davidlpope]

My suggestion is this:

Wear the black Argyll jacket with a matching black three-button waistcoat, spread collar formal shirt and black bow-tie.

I would forgo the PC if you do not already have one, and consider aquiring a regulation/sherrifmuir/montrose doublet if you will be attending many evening events where Highland attire is worn.

At Burns Supper in the US you'll see a dog's breaskfast of different attire- everything from doublets to poofy Pirate/Jacobite shirts... I don't think you can go wrong witht he black Argyll.
