    from coastal North Carolina. Since I do not wear a Balmoral I cannot comment on your question, but it looks like you already have good advice.

    Welcome from Eastern Washington State. There are many tales about the ribbons and what wearing one way or the other means. I figure what looks best looks best. How you wear your tails is up to you.

    From the Cape Fear River Valley, NC For my taste, the red toorie looked a little too much like the musical-hall Scotsmen of my mispent youth, so I replaced it with black, the same colour as the Balmoral. Thompson also suggests cutting off the ribbons entirely if they give you trouble So do whatever looks best to you.
