Wedding Neckties

[Jock Scot]

This is why I wanted to ask about wedding ties. I first heard about the grey/silver norm on this forum but I wasn't sure of its provenance.

Jock, can you clarify the THCD position (if any) on grey/silver neckties for weddings? Is this one of those "incorrect adaptations" from non-kilt wear or does it apply to Highland attire?

I think I have just covered the black silver buttoned argyll.

Now for the tweed version, look no further than the well turned out kilted gentleman at THE wedding just. There he is, clad in his tweed jacket and what has he got around his neck? A "regimental" style tie(Royal Agricultural College if I am not mistaken) and it looks pretty damn good to my eyes. Solid colours are fine too,but tartan ties-----particularly for a wedding----are best avoided for any occasion.

I really like knitted neckties, both wool and silk, but generally silk for weddings. They come with spots and stripes but even in plain the knitted effect adds another dimension of interest over a "normal" solid necktie, the flat bottom works well with a kilt as it isn't tempted to hang down over the top of your kilt or belt in the same way as a pointed necktie and the texture works well with tweed, barathea and wool.
