After all it's all about them.

That will take a little saving to get but do able. Got the kilt, sporran and shoes. I'll need the hose and jacket.

Since there doesn't seem to be any color requirements what would be brown or black. Granted I'm always partial toward black.

BTW what is the style of that jacket and waist coat? Argyll?

Remember it is a spring event so colorful is not inappropriate, but the peacock effect does have its detractions with the female accompanying.

For the Derby I think as far up the dress ladder as I would go would be a black Argyll with or without waistcoat (I prefer with), although the waistcoat does not have to match the jacket, rather it could pick up a kilt primary or accent color. Better would be a daywear outfit such as I am wearing (charcoal Argyll and matching waistcoat----it was a fall meet) in a nice lovat green or blue tweed, or if you can pull it off, an estate tweed in a lighter tone. And preferably some colorful hose/flashes and a more colorful bonnet to put on the finishing touches.
