    Jordan, I think it would be normal to take off you jacket when bowling. A jacket might hamper arm movement. Personally, for that casual of an event, I would forgo the jacket altogether, unless you need it for warmth when you are outside. A waistcoat, will give the open shirt enough style that you won't need a jacket. You don't actually say, but I am assuming that you will be wearing a kilt with your waistcoat and open shirt. Kilted bowling -- I'll bet the women will enjoy watching you bowl!

    My original idea was just the waistcoat but its not overly warm here and the lining of the jacket and back of the waistcoat are both a nice claret colour so its easier to explain if I have the jacket to hand.

    Strangely enough the prevaling comments from the women at my work seems to be that they want me to fall over for some reason
    The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.
