Silk neckties..........????

[dfmacliam]

I have only one tie for wear with mykilts and it's a silk US Marine Corps Regimental.. I will not worry about matching it to anything, thanks to previous threads Jock started about a year ago.

All of that money saved at Jacques Penne's could go toward this beauty, at roughly $100:

Assuming you aren't worried about bumping into a member of the 5th Mahratta at your local...

Well spotted, MacLL! I have one of these or order from Beau Ties Ltd. It looks like it will go well:


... although it's a gold rather than yellow stripe. There are some summery-looking ones in the vicinity, with a yellow background and blue stripes, which look nice. One of those is on my wish list for next time... Now all i need to to is make the kilt. The poor tartan is ready to be measured, but still languishes in the proto-atelier.

And here it is, not a match but complementary:

You bet! Here's one I just bought, and a plug for supporting the prostate cancer foundation as well:

I like the tie, and I like what it stands for.

Wear them, forget all that matching carry-on.

Don't forget the caveat that even if they don't have to match, they do have to look good together. Our Scottish brethren who so avidly admonish active coordination tend to have a better natural eye than most Americans I know. The things Jock Scot slaps together would take me at least a few minutes of consideration to achieve the same effect

Forgot to mention anything about the original question! Oops. All the ties I wear with my kilt are silk, and most of them tend to be glossy. I don't worry too much about it. As long as they don't actively clash I'll wear it. Most of the tie is hidden by a waistcoat anyway.
