The Checkered/Diced Tie

[McMurdo]

Traditional kilt attire is not and never has been frozen in time, so yes it does "stretch out further" than many assume. Take Prince Charles's tweed kilt jackets for example, an oft used example of traditional kilt attire in action on this website, few if any, of his tweed day jackets have fancy cuffs or epaulettes.

True Jock, however they are cut to be worn with the kilt. For me a Saxon suit jacket with a kilt is a bridge too far, even in a contemporary setting it looks sloppy and unkempt to my eye as the jacket interferes will the pleats. At least with a kilt jacket the bottom of the jacket meets the fell.

Patrick I think the tie is fine, the jacket is not. Sorry but it's just never going to work.
