Tie Colors/Pattern for kilts

Matt:

You've got an order, I'll take the Lovat Green. I'll call you shortly.

I have found that the types of ties sold in policemen catalogs make good kilt ties.

I have one Galbraith tartan tie that I wear when either I am not wearing a kilt (which isn't all that often anymore) or wearing a solid color kilt.

Most of the time I either wear this plain red tie:



Or this navy blue one. I rather like this one as it has tiny red rampant lions on it.

I purchased it from my friend Jon's online store

I found a similar one in a second hand store for $1 brand new. It is also blue but with tiny yellow rampant lions and it has stripes made up of very small red script that reads "Illegitimi non carborundum". I have yet to find an occasion that it would seem appropriate to wear it to.

I find that it looks best to tie my tie so that the wide front part is just above the belt buckle. Then I fold the now too long thin back part of tie in on itself. I hold the whole thing in place with a tie clip.

Cheers
