Formal Belt and Dirk?

[Caradoc]

Many threads here agree a belt should never be worn with the Prince Charles or even argyll jackets. Any thoughts?

I hadn't seen that particular complaint about the belt.

The belt should not be worn with a waistcoat (vest) - that much, I agree with.

That said, I don't think I'd wear a dirk with a Prince Charles - I think they look much nicer "plain," without a plaid, without a dirk, etc.

Hey, wear what you want to wear when you want to wear it.
Although I'm an Orthodox priest, I'm not a purist.

As long as you wear it well, the belt and vest will be fine together. Just understand what you are doing, and why, and enjoy yourself.

With apologies to those who know more, and therefore look better, than I.
