The Checkered/Diced Tie

[PatrickHughes123]

Sorry but it's just never going to work.

That is okay, I have heard it before. I don't usually go for the suit kilt style, I usually wear a Ghillie Shirt with a fly plaid, I was just trying something new. Thanks for your honesty.

Maybe, I will just do a shirt and checkered tie next time.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the ghille shirt or the fly plaid especially on a shirt. I suppose that is the great thing we all come to this with different ideas.

People wear it with t-shirts?

A Ghillie Shirt is a Renaissance-style shirt made in recent times, not a t-shirt.

I've seen it done, and we would disagree on what a ghillie shirt is. Nonetheless I find a fly plaid completely over the top and for the most part unnecessary even when paired with a jacket. The only time it's close to acceptable is perhaps when one is getting married, but even then it's best left in the wardrobe, better still left in the shop in the first place.

Not a fan of Prince Charlie Jackets to be honest, I only really like the Ghillie Shirt. And I love the fly plaid. I think more people should wear it but it really is up to them, same goes for the day plaid.

I have some Scottish patriot t-shirts that can be worn with the kilt. But I hardly ever wear them, I plan to in future though. NEVER with a fly plaid I don't think.

I do like a day plaid, I am not a huge fan of a Prince Charlie, but do have one for Black Tie, I would rather use one of my doublets instead. As for fly plaids I really have a problem with them but have just as big an aversion to the Ghillie shirt, both together is enough to turn my stomach to be honest.

To turn your stomach, aren't you being extreme McMurdo?

Consider wearing a jumper (sweater) along with your kilt and tie for a semi dressy look.

If I ever get any, I will. I may have one buried deep in my wardrobe.
