Review my attire

[Jock Scot]

A tartan regimental tie? That is a new one on me, but that is how your army do it and in my book, that must be respected by all. All I am saying, is that there are those that do not wear tartan ties(particularly different clan tartans) under any circumstances with their clan tartan kilt. How they would react to the South African regimental tie conundrum poses an interesting question for them!LOL

Totally OT, but Jock, you're teetering on 5K posts! One more pushes you over.

OKAY, Here goes...

I'd like to wear my Madras shirt with a bolo tie (which has a tartan insert in the clasp) a fly plaid, kilt, PC, and white hose!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Jock Scot's 5000th post!

As to my mischievousness, thank you, it's a gift.

Jock, you surprise me, saying that a tartan tie is a new one on you.
I can’t speak with authority, but I believe that members of kilted units generally wear tartan ties when in civvies.
Certainly the London Regiment does:

A tartan UK REGIMENTAL tie is a new one on me, yes indeed. I did not serve in a Scots Regiment though and try as I might I cannot recall a UK tartan regimental tie. Generally speaking the "old School" will not wear a tartan tie with the kilt, it is rather illogical really as many of them will turn out at dress events wearing splendid tartan waistcoats or tartan dress jackets with their kilts.

Just so you know,it is regarded by most in Scotland(wisely) and all in the Highlands(even more wisely) that wearing different tartans of DIFFERENT CLANS at the same time is an absolute no no.
