Question about Fly Plaids and Kilts

[george7]

Go for the kilt! The fly plaid is for dressing up kilts, it's very optional, and I've never heard of it worn with anything other than a kilt or trews.

I agree! Inexpensive kilts can be had if the cost is an issue. Look around on the boards, there are plenty of outstanding vendors who can help.

Oh, and welcome to X-marks the Scot!

You could go with tartan trousers, that always look sharp.

If not a kilt or tartan trews, you could try a tartan in your tuxedo tie and cumberbund and the ladies could wear a sash in the tartan to accent?

You can even buy the patterns by "burda" #3403 that has bowties, ties, vests, cumberbunds and get the items made by someone that can do the work? It would go with the tux.

Hope that helps?

This is a great idea and it worked for my wedding. Neither of the fathers were willing to wear a kilt, so my mother ordered a bit of tartan fabric to match the kilts and made tartan bow ties and cummerbunds for the fathers. They were a hit and still matched the groomsmen and me.

Don't wear a fly plaid without a kilt. If you insist on a regular tux, you might consider a tartan bowtie and cummerbund. Several vendors offer them.
