Wedding Things

No, not mine. that isn't for another few decades.

neeuqdrazil's brother is getting married Canada Day long weekend, and I am tired of being one of those guys wearing a black suit, black tie and a red dress shirt to try to look slightly alternative while still conforming. Wearing all neo-victorian/steampunk formal wear has its own problems since I may end

modern formal (suit, oxford shirt +tie) over kilt

under absolutely NO circumstances is this a good idea; the cut of a modern suit jacket is completely at odds with the flare on a kilt even over a man's hips, plus the hemline is often too long to ride well on the pleats.

so no, no, no, and no.

i like the 9 yards of plaid and some woad though. it *can* get awfully damned hot at that time of year, even in the Atlantic provinces.

What she said.

The result of this vote is binding, right?

[curgoth]

Sadly, I have to give neeuqdrazil veto rights on this since it is her brother. Were it mine, I'd just be going right to the woad.

I say only the full kit because of where you will be. I don't imagine that the fine folks of Nova Scotia will take too kindly to messing with their precious kilts, and they are somewhat more traditional that Bloor/Yonge ;-)

My Nova Scotian coworker claims that I'm likely to be the only guy in a kilt at all - he's never seen someone in a kilt at a wedding.

I wore a kilt and suit jacket to pixel and spice's wedding..

I wore my Prince Charlie with a standard white shirt. There is room for play there. However, much_ado is right, a modern jacket is to long to mesh with a kilt.
