The Checkered/Diced Tie

[Jock Scot]

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.

Personally I give contemporary kilt wearers some leeway with their attire and I quite agree to a traditionalist's eyes a saxon cut jacket does look sloppy when worn with the kilt. However, I am no expert on contemporary kilt attire mainly because I see so little of it in the wild over here and therefore I hesitate to be too emphatic on the pros and cons of that style of kilt attire.
