Peace on Earth and Good will to men.

It's a question of absolutes. Saying that you should Never do anything, especially with kilt is the problem.

I'm sorry, but I disagree with you there. There's an old saying, "just because you can doesn't mean you should"...and in the case of tucking-in sweaters (into a kilt or trousers), I would stand by that saying.

I agree , Especially to men who wear kilts.

I myself will NEVER tuck a sweater in simply because I don't believe they are designed to be tucked in. Plus, who out there really needs three inches added to their waist???

Thanks for all the wonderful advice. I know we all have preferences, to tuck or not to tuck, that is the question...lol Anywho I will not be tucking in the sweater.

I should have all the pieces of the ensemble together in a week or two, and will post a pic, for go/no go vote.

Have a great one!!

It sounds like a very nice outfit...the greys and blacks will look smashing!!

**KiltedKop45** · 25th December 07, 10:29 AM

Good Luck. I will look for the pics

I think the ensemble sounds great--the only thing I might change is the flash color. I know the tartan flashes are a bit dressier but a bit of color there might set off the greys and blacks. But in AK, probably NS flashes are good. Not wearing carhartts will set you off enough.

(Carhartt comment not meant to be disparaging, just my memory. I suspect the usual AK dress is a bit different than when I lived there, we were suspicious of anyone dressed up too much.)

Yeah, around here Carhartts are as acceptable as a pair of slacks. I would not be surprised to see at least one Carhartt brand garment at the wedding.
