Food For Thought

[Jock Scot]

Hey Jock. Ya missus left off the most important question of all! How many have ever worn a flat cap with their kilt?

Well actually Jeff the question would have been asked, but we ran out of time!

There were four questions that were not asked and out of interest they were:-

What kind of head wear would you consider appropriate to be worn, as a civilian, when wearing the kilt?(TICK AS MANY AS YOU LIKE).
A) Balmoral.
B) Glengarry.
C) Deer Stalker/Fore 'n Aft.
D) Flat tweed cap.
E) Base ball Cap.
F) Panama.
G) Other.

What kilt jacket do you wear to a FORMAL kilted wedding (NOT a principal guest)?(TICK ONE ONLY)
A) Tweed day jacket.
B) Prince Charlie.
C) Black barathea silver/black buttoned Argyll(day jacket).
D) Other.
NOTE FOR XMARKERS: The Wedding service is normally, in the UK, over by about 1700 Hrs..


What Kilt Jacket would you wear to a "normal" wedding (NOT a principal guest)?(TICK ONE ONLY)
A) Back barathea silver/black buttoned day jacket.
B) Black ,or, grey tweed day jacket.
C) Tweed day jacket other than black ,or, grey.
D) PC.
E) Other.


What would you consider the most versatile Kilt Jacket in your wardrobe?(TICK ONE ONLY)
A) Black barathea Argyll.
B) An evening "dress" jacket other than a PC.
C) PC.
D) Tweed Argyll.(day jacket)


I would not presume to know the answers that might have been given, but there is nothing to stop you all from answering them. THEN try to answer them again imagining you are a traditional Scot and see if your answers are the same!

[Livingston]

I will take you up on that, Jock.

What kind of head wear would you consider appropriate to be worn, as a civilian, when wearing the kilt?(TICK AS MANY AS YOU LIKE).
A) Balmoral. Yes
B) Glengarry.
C) Deer Stalker/Fore 'n Aft. Yes
D) Flat tweed cap.
E) Base ball Cap.
F) Panama. Yes
G) Other. I have a very cool (temperature), wide brimmed hat for hot, sunny days

B) Prince Charlie.
C) Black barathea silver/black buttoned Argyll(day jacket). Yes

B) Black ,or, grey tweed day jacket. Yes
C) Tweed day jacket other than black ,or, grey. Yes
D) PC.
E) Other.
Note: which ever would be closest to normal for everyone else and that is usually other than black/grey

What would you consider the most versatile Kilt Jacket in your wardrobe?
A) Black barathea Argyll.
B) An evening "dress" jacket other than a PC.
C) PC.
D) Tweed Argyll.(day jacket)
This would be both A and D since, to me, A can be formal or "fancy casual" and D can be very casual to fancy casual

I think if I was a traditional Scot, such as yourself , it would be VERY close to the same except for the head ware which would leave off the OTHER option. Of course, as I normally am, I could be wrong.

I don't think we differ by that much, thanks greg.

Now as you did not know the exact rules(MY FAULT) all questions that don't specifically say "tick as many as you like" you only have one choice per question. I will just add that bit to the questions to make that clear. Sorry.

We booth know where and why the differences between your and my answers would/will be, now, don't we. But great additional questions, Jock, and overall a great thread. Thanks for sharing your efforts. Sounds like a fun evening was had by all.

That is interesting, Greg. I will reserve comment to see if others might venture an opinion.

Remember it is NOT a question of right and wrong here, just venturing opinions.

That is interesting, Greg. I will reserve comment to see if others might venture an opinion.

O.K., here's my opinion. But I sense I am going to be out of sync with the rest of you

What kind of head wear would you consider appropriate to be worn, as a civilian, when wearing the kilt?(TICK AS MANY AS YOU LIKE).

NONE. I hate hats and see no good reason to wear one. Highland dress is not a uniform and the modern fashion outside of Highland dress is to go bareheaded so why be any different when I have a kilt on?

What kilt jacket do you wear to a FORMAL kilted wedding (NOT a principal guest)?

Probably a Prince Charlie. This is, after all, a FORMAL wedding and if I was not in a kilt then I would presumably be expected to wear a formal Morning Suit, which is also not only (or even) worn after 5pm. The equivalent has to be a PC, Montrose or similar. Alternatively I might wear a Black barathea silver/black buttoned Argyll

What Kilt Jacket would you wear to a "normal" wedding (NOT a principal guest)?
A) Back barathea silver/black buttoned day jacket.
B) Black ,or, grey tweed day jacket.
C) Tweed day jacket other than black ,or, grey.

Any of the above three

What would you consider the most versatile Kilt Jacket in your wardrobe?

either
A) Black barathea Argyll.
or
D) Tweed Argyll.(day jacket)

That's my 2 cents worth

I wouldn't expect others to necessarily agree with me though
