Wedding attire for FotG

[Calico]

Yes, Jock knows his stuff. But he is also a die-hard "traditionalist".

I happen to like the bias-cut tie very much, and my recommendation (worth what you have paid for it) is to wear it.

In the States no one expects to see a kilt, and "matchy-matchy" isn't the issue it is where the people seeing your outfit have something to compare it to.
(okay, you are in Canada, but I bet your fellow countrymen share more in common regarding kilts with us Statesiders than with native Scots).

Wanting to match the rest of the wedding party carries more fashion weight than "matching too much". (again, IMHO).

Gosh I wish I knew how to use the quote thing where only the bit I want comes up! Not only a traditionalist, but a technodunce too!

Anyway to the last paragraph! Why should anyone want to match the rest of the wedding party? Okay I quite understand we are talking outwith Scotland here, but in Scotland there could be 50 different tartans in at least 3 different hues on show at a wedding. In fact, just like suits at weddings that don't match in the rest of the world, from my experience. Why in heaven's name, should everything have to match?I quite accept that there may be accidental matching but that is bound to happen on occasion, but we are not talking uniforms here!
