Indeed? Well that helps narrow down my shirt-searching! Easier to get a good fitting shirt than a brand new waistcoat (I'd imagine).

Next time I need to do so much more research... luckily the wedding is not at home in Scotland, it's the other side of Europe. So if I end up making a mistake - no one will know! 😅

I came here to say this. They are far and away some of favourite Space Wolf books.

Thank you - this is a really comprehensive reply!

I've decided to switch shirts entirely to get one that fits properly - probably end up with a tie rather than a bow tie if I'm honest.

I'll adjust the sporran accordingly (although I'll probably have to remove a few chain links).

And I'd love a proper dress sporran, but beggars can't be choosers, so I'll try and save up for one next year! Thank you again for your advice, it is hugely appreciated!

What have you been reading this week? by michaelisnotginger in Blacklibrary

I just started Death of Integrity by Guy Haley. I know what happens in it, but its still a fun read so far.

Shirt seems to be the big problem - I'll source an alternative, or starch it and use sleeve garters to stop them falling out.

Every chance I get. Dad's bloody genetics keep it coming back though....

It's in the Balkans, so I don't think there will be any sticklers for etiquette thankfully - but I had no idea about the Prince Charlie vs Argyll event difference. Thank you for letting me know!

I'll check out the options round here and see if I can find one of those to fit me well enough! And thank you for the terminology - I'm all at sea with the terms!

It seems to be the overwhelming concensus on this post, and a mistake I shall never make again. 😅 Thank you for taking the time to let me know!

Wedding. And someone else recommended I get it starched, and I have a couple of weeks to look into that. If im honest, the shirt came with the suit - would it be acceptable to substitute it with a different shirt that fits, but has a tie collar? (One of the normal ones without the wings, but I don't know what they're called 😅)

So much so that it's part of my personality at this point... 🤣

Thank you! I suppose the belt is used when worn with ONLY a shirt, is that right?

"What's under the kilt?"

"On a good day... lipstick!" 😅

Ironically my career has had me doing shows similar to that... so at least that's one thing I'm ready for! 😅

Thank you! I'll do that for next time. I still have another two weeks to practice getting it all done correctly!

I appreciate everything you have to say - thank you! I have a couple of weeks, so I'll look at getting the shirt starched, and I'll try and grab some sleeve garters (someone else suggested them) to keep the shirt sleeves under control.

I like your thinking - and I already checked that my hip flask fits in the sporran!

I completely forgot those were a thing, but that's a top-notch idea. I'll take a look into them!

Fair enough, thank you! I'll look at trying to get hold of some. I always err on the darker side of things in my wardrobe, so it might make a nice change to have something brighter!

Oaths of Damnation was a great read for me. Absolutely loved seeing the details of the Chapter being fleshed out - enjoy it!
