Kilt with a waistcoat and tie?????

**Blu (Ontario)** · 10th July 06, 05:05 PM

The standard tie would present a less formal look than a bowtie. Do you have something against bowties?

With my PC jacket... the waistcoat is the same color as the jacket... black. (I personally have never seen a light waistcoat worn woth a dark jacket.)

Also, I've never seen a wingtip shirt worn with anything but a bowtie.

So what district tartan is the kilt?

Welcome to the board!

The outfit that Hamish has referenced is great. For some reason I'm not that crazy about the bow tie look or the jabot look either...probably part of why I'm not interested in getting a PC jacket...a Montrose or a Sherrifmuir would almost be preferable (to me) except that they look rather "military". The look illustrated above definitely would agree with my outlook on going formal. Hope you can find what you're looking for, Moovet...thanks to Hamish for giving the reference to a really good alternative...one more suit of clothes to add to the list...please...no one tell my wife....

Best

Thanx guys,

Yeah that photo isnt too dissimilar to what I had in mind? Would an Argyll jacket do the trick. My wife-to be isn't too keen on bow ties and I prefer smart cravats and fatboy ties if there is enough waistcoat to cover your chest. With the PC jacket and vest there isnt. So that photo is pretty damen close even the colour of the waistcoat. Doesn't look to bad to me? Any other opinions on that? Anyone with similar photos?

I am wearing Teviotdale tartan from Hawick
