    Personally I think the sashes look more like a ladies piece, simply because they are so small.

    On the other hand, a pipers plaid or something much more bulky looks great though very formal like the ones shown here

    All in all for what would be considered formal events or black tie, these would be over kill (again IMHO).

    Back in the early stages of this addiction, while jonesing for some kilts on order I ordered a Macdonald sash from SportKilt. Kinda figured out on my own it didn't work.

    But don't give them away. I use mine for a winter scarf and it works great - especially when paired with a leather flight jacket and a solid color kilt....or matching tartan kilt.
