Jacket at night

[Spartan Tartan]

She does want me to try the waist coat without the jacket look. While I've seen this in a few pubs here in the US I don't see that very often on the forums. Would this also be a smart look or more of a casual at the pub look?

I think the waistcoat without a jacket is perfectly fine. It looks smart and dresses it up a bit more than a polo shirt--regardless of trousers or kilt. And of course, if your wife thinks it will look good...it will probably look good ( to her at least, and isn't that what matters ).

I am FAR from an expert, but here's my 2 bits:

Theatre, opera, ballet, concerts (those without mosh pits) fine dining and related milling about smartly--I choose a tweed argyll in colder weather or a black braemar for warmer weather. Both of mine incidently were 'cut down' by our own VMAC and she did an AMAZING job. I'm thinking of getting a lighter fabric jacket to have her do the same with as well.

When its far too warm for a jacket, I see nothing wrong with a waistcoat and dress shirt.

Mind you--I always wear a tartan kilt.

I do shirt and waistcoat sometimes not so much recently hogmanay was the last time that springs to mind. I feel that it looks smart when worn with a tie and still looks smart enough to be acceptable without a tie and rolled up shirt sleeves.

But then again I'm not that traditional seeing as a do own a suit like Hamish except in plain black. Sorry Jock

Drac,

This was my Christmas party attire last year, as well as my Burns dinner this year. I have a black Argyle that's rather lightweight, so I may consider wearing it for those "formal" events now but otherwise, I'm probably going to stick with this... (although that Black Stewart is no longer with me... and no comments about the hose please, this was pre-xmarks... )
