Yes, but the brown paisley bowtie and red/white/blue ruffled shirt are (I think) a don't.

Would you buy a used car from that man?

In almost all the paintings and photos I have seen of jackets worn with kilts of the same tartan, the jacket tartan is on the bias, that is, the tartan is diagonal, unlike the kilt. Which way, if either, is correct for jackets, or is or was customary, on the bias or horizontal and vertical?

Ah, but as a new member you're supposed to bring the cookies! (AND the single malt!) Hope you brought enough for everyone...

Welcome to the forum, and to the fray!

I'll pass on the cookies, and just take some whisky instead!
