Tell us the size needed. Someone might have such an item lying around that needs a new home. O'Neille

This obviously a time sensitive issue. The first place I would be inclined to check is a tux rental place... they will either be able to supply what you need or refer you to a source. Time is the enemy. You might need to do some driving to beat the clock.

The alternative of course is to get a tux and blend in with the group.

I'll have to go to one of the local stores to get my jacket size. My suit jacket ( as expected ) doesn't have a size in it.

oh, and as for driving, I'll have to see if there is a kilt store in Dallas. There isn't one anywhere in OK until the end of the month.

I'll have the size posted tomorrow night...thanks everyone.

oh, a few people have asked, the fraternity is Pi Kappa Alpha.

Speaking of Dallas -- I'd forgotten -- there's Scotland Forever -- I think PlanoPiper's wife is associated with the store (owns it??). They do rentals. Don't know how much stock they carry if you decide to buy.

Probably your best bet is to get on the phone tomorrow during business hours.

Definitely call first . . . Scotland Forever is the only Scottish-related store that I'm currently aware of in the DFW area, and I don't think they have a store front . . . operate out of the owner's home. You can find out what they've got before you drive down. (Might save you a long trip.)

However, if you decide to drive down, let me know if you want to have coffee (etc.) before driving back . . . I might be able to meet you some place.

I got my dinner jacket from them in 100% wool and I bid $25 but I had time on my side.
