Anyone going to the Oil Barons Ball tomorrow night or has been in the past? Got an invite to it and am unclear whether I have to wear black tie with the kilt????

In the words of the great Sean Connery, "Shurely Not...!!"

Madam Medusa

i'm going...it's meant to be a great night out...

nah, you wear the normal tie and shirt with the kilt...

correct, depending on your attire (prince charlie or Argyll etc etc) a tie or dickie will do.

Blue Cat

Madam Medusa

I'm sure it's not mandatory to wear a tartan boyskirt, trousers and dinner jacket should be fine ,

shiva

yup, charlie + bow tie, black and please, a real one no clip on tom foolery, should ideally be a winged collar shirt as well
argyle + tie + normal collar

TGFKASE

Bugger... Had kinda hoped to get away with a ghillie shirt, jacket and plaid.... Ah well, have to go look for a tie, I suppose...

shiva

ah someone who prefers penguins to real men

shiva

tsk tsk not in the evening and certainly not at a black tie event.
trews and mess jacket are a viable option however

TGFKASE

I'll have to have a look and see if I took my winged collar over. Anyone know where I could pick up a winged collar shirt and black bow tie???

TGFKASE

Not from where I come from, Shiva!!! Sorry, trews has always appeared to me to be a solely Sassenach (in the truest form of the word) pursuit!!!!

shiva

al diyafah, there is a wee shop there called murad, call 0507281632

sorry but that is appropriate attire for a piss up at a scotland footy match,

My pet hate is these ghillie shirts at weddings etc..

just doesnt fit with the occassion..

I wore a sherrifmuir jacket for my wedding. Really Really cool
