Why is a cravat wrong with a kilt? Or is it?

[Good Egg]

The reason I'm mentioning it is that my neck (and face) got a little burnt at the Moira Country Fair on Sunday last and I'm planning to go to the Cornhill Games near Banff on Saturday and was thinking that a cravat may protect the neck - sunscreen on the visog, but I hate the feeling of sunscreen on bits that rub on clothes - neck/collar, wrist/cuffs, knees/kilt edge etc.

Of course I could always wear a wide brimmed hat but they don't look quite right with a kilt. Perhaps I'll go with the Pith helmet.ith:

Whew...something struck me as unusual about how you asked what you did, so I poked around the web and learned the difference between a 'cravat' and a 'ruche tie', and a bit of history in general about decorative things we tie about our necks.

Anyway...I'm sure as with everything else, tastefully done, nobody will care and you'll be comfortable.

I don't like sunscreen when it's next to clothes either...feels weird. I do throw a bandanna on for boarding, biking, sometimes hiking, etc. to protect from the elements...although usually in conjunction with staying warm. YMMV, but you'll certainly avoid sunburn. The cravat would look sharper, in my humble and inexperienced opinion, if you're dressing up.
