Ties,regimental,university,college, club.

[Jock Scot]

Since a striped tie is not a part of our general culture, I guess our sensibilities are geared to colors blending in. I, for one, was taught never to wear any colors which clashed. I don't think this is unusual for my generation.

But then, for many of us, the British style isn't our model of dressing. Nor is there any reason it should be.

Well you are seemingly willing to buy into the kilt wearing world which one way or another is British, albeit the Scots part of it!
