The problem with 90% of the photographs used by retailers to promote the sale of various items of Highland attire is that the clothes rarely fit the model. Sleeves can be too long, the body of a PC too short, or the kilt isn't worn at the proper height. It is hard to say for sure in this photo if the jacket is too long, although it does look as if the body of the coat could be a tad shorter-- although it may just be the way the model is standing. The overall "look" is good, the ruche tie excepted. The colour of the tie is excellent, but turning up the collar of the shirt is, in my opinion, very untidy and looks like exactly what it is-- the wrong shirt and tie combination. My objection to all ruche ties is that they are quite obviously fake; in my book a pre-tied tie is no tie at all, and a gentleman should avoid fakery at all costs.
