Argyle question

[CelticRanger66]

Thanks to all for your opinions and I will try to convince them to get scotch instead

The bride and groom are paying for and supplying the Argyle jackets and Kilts / fly plaids ( Gordon Dress Tartan) for their wedding in the latter part of august. (Very old southern family wilth more money than a federal mint)

I just think that the addition of the fly plaid would be a little over the top.

LOL! I actually agree with Beloitpiper.

Yup, what he said. I don't mind a fly plaid with an Argyle but I might suggest the groomsmen in Argyles and the the groom in a PC and plaid.

it looks fine to me. but whatever floats your ship and keeps the bride and groom happy.

Now this is purely a personal assessment - but I think that Bill (Keepoffgrass) looks very smart in his outfit with the fly plaid - except for the sporran, which is just too white and fluffy - if I met it in person a fit of the giggles might ensue.

Mr. Newsome's sporran from the Burn's night pic looks far more sensible, and what lovely hose those are. Good knees too.


oups did I just write that down?

only looking. Looking is allowed.

Thanks! The hose are from my wife. The knees are a gift from God.

Thanks! But hey! Whats wrong with that sporran? its artic fox. It is a bit more fluffy than the pictures of the examples on the site, but it was custom made and I like it. I think it looks better with a white shirt and bow tie, and white hose instead of black tho. I dont have a black sporran yet, but I've had my eye on those skunk skin ones, like Matt has in his picture tho.

Be very careful, my friend. That's one of the beautiful Furgeson Brit sporrans and they are HIGHLY addictive!

There can be some things which are just too white and fluffy. Bloefelt's cat, that sporran - but yes, it would look better where it was amongst more white items. You definitely have to dress up to a sporran like that.

Maybe it needs hair dressing gel or some other product to get it to fluff less and be not so giggle inducing. I can't help it - it must be some innate response.

Well, Herman, if the jackets and fly plaids are being supplied, you would be remiss in not wearing them. Personally, I think they look fine together. I'm actually starting to lean towards the style shown by Matt, I think that's a rather sharp look.
