This is my "Napoleon" pose. It shows the cape off better than the other shot.


Yes, I know I've broken some rules here. From the top:
I'm wearing a Balmoral with a PC jacket.
I'm wearing a four-in-hand tie with a PC.
I'm wearing a non-formal sporran with a PC.
I'm wearing non-formal hose with a PC.

The reasons for such blatant dereliction are: the PC is the only black jacket I have that "goes" with the kilt. My suit coat is just too long.
The tie matches the kilt. It's red and blue diagonal stripes, although it looks purple in the picture.
I don't own a "formal" sporran. I wish I did.
My red cable hose are in the wash, because I wore them to church Sunday.

Please overlook what's under the cape. I'm trying to show it off, not me.
Thanks again to Victoria for making this cape for me, and for accommodating my last-minute requests.
The cape is very fine indeed.

There is no problem wearing a balmoral with the PC, none at all. You are out-of-doors, and the temperature obviously is cold enough to warrant the inverness cape, so of course you would want to wear a bonnet! The problem is when the bonnet is worn indoors: then it becomes a faux pas.
