    The phrase, "tartan egg cup" was, I believe, coined by Jock Scot. While this is a kilt site, it is called X MARKS THE SCOT, and this forum is all about TRADITIONAL HIGHLAND DRESS, which (like it or lump it) encompasses trews. That said, trews wearers seem to be in the distinct-- albeit dashing-- minority when it comes to formal Highland attire.

    I don't recall saying that, but perhaps I did! Mind you, it is a very apt description of the wrong shaped body clad in trews.Trews are very elegant in the right circumstances and are often seen in the Highlands at functions, particularly when the midgies are about!

    It was the tranquilizers talking Jock. I do like trews and feel they certainly have a place on this forum.
