Ewan McGregor Investiture Wear

[Shedlock2000]

I am sorry I dont understand. All morning suits have tails , whether they are black or grey.

Jock, we might be getting mixed up here - my pos was a response to Chas, who was discussing his tails being grey. I merely pointed out that in my original post I had referenced the PC only because it was a less formal dress than the highland equivalent of morning dress (grey tails), and that I actually knew that a PC was evening wear - as are black tails (often worn with white tie, and occasionally (and more in the US during the 20's-40's) with black tie (though I would guess that black tie and tails are fairly rare now, if seen at all. I'm not sure if black tie and black tails were ever considered correct, but I have seen it a great deal in period photographs).

Anyway, it's all slightly irrelevant: I was merely apologising to Chas for my ambiguous writing in the original post which seems to give the impression that I thought Ewan ought to have worn a PC to his investiture. I was merely offering the PC up as an item of clothing more formal than an Argyle, but less formal than the Muir.

doh! I'm still not sure I've made that any better!
