Kilt glasses, kilt watches, kilt pens, kilt cars

The leather patches are to cover up the worn spots. Just ask Jock. Jock knows.

Oh yes Jock knows a thing or six about leather patches and leather patches on leather patches!

I cannot abide the look of brand new attire with leather patches put on for "style" though.

There is a company, We Bleed Plaid, in Edinboro PA, USA (named for Edinburgh, Scotland). They have a car partially covered with Steward Royal decals. Since pics are required to prove that it exists. The best I can do is provide a link to the photo of the car.

I'm a graduate of Edinboro University (the Fighting Scots) and was in town last September for a Homecoming Reception dressed in my Stewart Royal kilt & Prince Charlie jacket. It was before the reception when I saw the car and met the lady who owns it. Didn't get a photo, so this link is the best I can do.

Well, I think I have just the pen for the kilted gentleman:


KiltedGunn surprised me and sent it last week. It has my name on it, the MacQueen clansman's crest badge, and the background is the tartan that I registered for myself and my family. It was a very kind and thoughtful gesture that I sincerely appreciate and a lovely writing utensil to boot!

Things have indeed changed... they are now owned by TATA...! (yes, you read correctly...)


Cheers,

I've enjoyed this thread very much - with one little exception -

TATA owns Jaguar now??

So it was bought by Ford, sold to Daimler and then sold to TATA?! aiiiyiyiyiyiiiiii

Back on the subject of traditional kilt accessories, what do you folks have to say about tie tacks or tie bars? Is there a style that's more appropriate or traditional for kilted tie-wearing? Or is it more traditional to go without any such item attached to one's tie?

I have 3 tie tacks that I usually wear. One is the logo for the company I work for (got it for my 10-year service award, lol). Another is the logo for my alma mater, and the third is a small eagle. I always wear a tie tack with the short chain and bar that goes into the button hole behind the tie, to keep my tie from blowing around or swinging out too far.

I've been considering a tie bar or another tie tack, but this time in a Scottish motif. Maybe a thistle tie tack? Does anyone make such a thing?

What do the traditionalists wear?

P.S. Jock Scot, I'm right with you on the collar stabilizers. All my good shirts have sleeves behind the collar for them. And I have several sets of stiff plastic stabilizers for them (never seen metal ones). I much prefer shirts with this type of collar. It keeps the collar laying right.

What do the traditionalists wear?

This traditionalist doesn't wear tie bars, etc. They tend, INMHO, to tear up good ties.

When I wear a botton down shirt and a tie, I have a very thin tie clip with a thistle on it that I use.

Are the car pics photo-shopped, are has some one Really such bad taste?

Re kilt everythings, the Abba song from late 70's comes to mind, "crackin up"! :-)

PS, the bus looks like a toffee tin!
