A trans-Atlantic thing?

[Jock Scot]

In another thread a couple of comments made me wonder if there is a divergance of opinion over what constitutes as formal Kilt attire,between the "old" world and the "new".I think generally speaking most people this side of the Atlantic would say that a black barathea silver buttoned Argyll(type) would be the start of the formal ladder, as formal day wear and the next rung up, so to speak, would be a Prince Charlie coatee.I wonder what any body else thinks? Before the broadsides are fired about traditional fuddy duddies looking down their noses at the modernists of the kilt world and vice versa, then please don't. This is a non judgmental question.
