uber formal on the cheap: dollar by dollar

[Alan H]

I just thought I'd bump this post again, since thomsec put together this EXACT outfit, as recommended in the first post in the thread, and wore it to our 2009 Nor Cal Rabble Burns Night.

He looked *great*.

I am wearing a rental Eton/Spencer jacket I got off of ebay, but thomsec actually got the Uniformalwearhouse jacket, put on cast pewter buttons, teamed it up with a USA Kilts kilt in the Isle of Skye tartan and looked super.

Yes, his kilt was a USA Kilts casual, and that's not the same as a full-on formal kilt, but he still looked super, and did it on a serious budget.

Well done, thomsec!

Here's two pictures of Thomsec's ensamble. I noticed he had a new outfit this year, but assumed the jacket was from a regular Highland gear outfitter. Likewise the kilt looked like a traditional wool. Just goes to show you can look good for most purposes without going bespoke.
