    Umm, but it ain't formal... most are in jeans. Theme this year has something to do with angels, but they're letting me in anyway.

    I vote the the Purple Lewis hose, they are a winner with IoS tartan!

    Cheers

    Thanks, you folks agree with my lady...so purple it will be. Thanks.

    The Lewis hose seem cooler to me than the regular hose, a bit less wool I guess. Have been wearing them into the 80s F.

    Temps up on the mountain will be in the 40s and 50s at night and 70s during the day this weekend - if the weather guessers are right - so should be fine.

    Ron, you do not need advice from me! However, I would add one thing: Whilst I agree with the majority, puple hose DOES look so good with the IoS kilt, I have a feeling that if worn with the shirt you describe, you will look unbalanced ....... visually, I mean!

    The kilt is dark, the hose is dark, your footwear is probably dark (it should be!) and so from the waist down you will be 'heavy' with nothing dark to balance it above the waist. Can you perhaps wear an open waistcoat (sorry, vest)? Alternatively, I think I would be considering a mossy-green shirt/polo/whatever in place of the white one.

    Just me, ol' pal!!
