What level of formality would this velvet dinner jacket be?

[Chas]

If you are going to do this, have a three button waistcoat made at the same time.

Silly question, as we are on a kilt forum, but the cut of the jacket has thrown me so do you mean to go with Highland dress or "Saxon" (for want of a better word) dress?

If the later then it would be very much the less formal end of blacktie such as dinner in the country at a friend's ancestral pile.

Lime,
The jacket is made to measure. It can be had in a length suitable for a kilt.

Certainly unusual and should cause a stir at a "black tie" event. Red tie perhaps?

Phil,
19 colors, one is even black...

Chas,
Likely a tartan waistcoat and a wine colored jacket.
