    Ok the kilt is the way to go. IT IS! Now a spot of unsolicited advice! Raise the kilt so that it is no lower than the centre of the knee cap, higher would be even better to the top of the knee cap. That would solve another problem, the gap between the top of your kilt and the bottom of your tie. Your hose tops could be lowered by at least an inch. Is there any chance that you could get a day sporran?

    option A!
    (although, I had to vote for C in the poll)
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    I would recommend a bow tie with your flatron outfit. I would even go as far as rotating the covering 90degrees as it would be easier to read. AS for footwear some retread sandals would be a good option. A bubble wrap postal envelope could work as a sporran.

    Flat cap on the head, perhaps?

    Kilt, Dude! And, the leather outfit might violate some Shinto precept or other, making you unlucky etc. I would definately avoid dead animal attire at such a Japanese function.

    Jock, were you thinking tweed or tartan flatcap in this situation?
