I'm sure Cynthia will agree.

Damn! but you're smart... we never seem to quarrel over things like this.

Interesting thoughts on the Navy coloured PC. Saw one with waistcoat on sale from the Golden Boys on ebay recently and as it was so cheap in comparison to the Black one form the same source, I considered it for a moment ... but then I thought "Naaa! everyone will know I only paid 50 quid for it" and I am inclined to think that as with the Kilt, you probably get what you pay for...

Plus, I think they look smashing on everyone else but they are not for me. Looks too much like a mess dress jacket with bells on for my taste... (for which obviously there is no accounting for).

I too prefer the Argyll (or in my case Crail) style although again, you get what you pay for.

EDIT:Don't take any notice of me. Here speaks a man who wears a Levi jacket with kilt most of the time. I don't get invited to many best bib and tucker parties these days.

It's a much better choice, Ted.

That is good to know, and thank you.

With tartan or diced hose of course. That just leaves the shoes to consider...

As for footwear, buckle brogues would be proper. Mine are Kilties from Nichol Brothers, though no longer in business they can still be found from time to time on ebay, there are of course other options as well.

I was aiming more at the color than the style, but I have noticed that there are several options in style.

Just exploring how limited the options are if one wants to go with colors other than black in the jacket and accessories.

For footwear always black with this level of formality.

**Bugbear** · 27th February 09, 04:22 PM

Thanks McMurdo. Just checking...

* Ehh, they would be shiney and pick up what ever colors are in the hose anyway. *

I am trying to picture a blue and orange paisley PC worn with a kilt and my normally vivid imagination is failing me. Perhaps a subconscious defense mechanism.....
