Great Kilt

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I think a belted plaid CAN work with modern formal Highland dress - a concept that horrifies today's "traditionalists", I'm sure
However, instead of pulling it up and across the front of your chest, it would look much better to pull up the length in back and pin it to your left shoulder,

Oh, yes indeed! What a great look, Matt....

I agree. That looks very nice and stylish.

Matt, are you actually pinning that to the jacket, or does the broach pin run under an epaulet on the jacket?

No, there is a hidden safety pin holding the plaid to the jacket from the underside.

Folks, this only looks good because Matt is standing in front of the bookshelf cut on the bias.

Does the plaid hanging off the shoulder "pull" on the shoulder of the jacket, making it "cata-wompt" (it did last time I tried)?

I have it in front, as to "relieve" the pulling.

Any tips on attaching the upper portion of the plaid to clothing?

Minus the tie, I could have my arm twisted to dress up like that.
