    Bring the whole outfit together

    Piece by Piece I'm trying to assemble an outfit which will allow for the individual items to be wearable for many occasions (casual, semi and formal). I'm going to go with the Fraser Hunting tartan 8 yard kilt and Add a Eton Tux jacket and vest to achieve a PC look. This question centers on a glengarry to go with this formal rig.

    One thought is to use a simple black glen. I don't want to use the standard red/white dicing as it would clash, I feel, with the kilt (brown, green, red, blue, white). Without the hackle.

    The other is to choose a glen with a similar color contained in the kilt. I like the SF Green Glens (no Dicing). Though it may not be a close match to the green in the kilt. I had thought I'd be able to find a dark brown glen but I think the only brown available is a kahki tan.

    The third option I just noticed at Kiltstore is a tartan glen in woorsted or brushed wool. This I guess is the real question...would a tartan glen appear too busy with the PC outfit? Is this a time for KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid )
