Tweed to go with my tartan

[Brian K]

I think the chap in the photo looks fine (I may change the sporran though), though I am not entitrely fond of those sort of neckties - they look unkept and ultra-modern (uber fashionable) to me for Highland day attire. I tend to think the high contrast between the tartan in his kilt and the tweed in his jacket and waistcoat is rather appealing - of course, this is only my opinion.

I tend to agree with you, Kyle. I hate the style of tie but the rest looks fine.

I forget where this picture originally came from, but on the original site it could be enlarged. It appears that the tartan in question is a muted Anderson (a tartan that ain't easy to mute - it's loud by nature) and I think it works well with this jacket, though I also don't think that the matchy-matchy thing we do with Saxon wear needs to be done with Highland attire. Of course, my opinion is probably influenced by the fact that my great-grandfather was an Anderson and I'd love a kilt in and Anderson tartan someday!

Richard and I disagreed with each other about this picture early last year and I think of it every time someone asks about matching. Style is an individual thing and if we all liked the same thing there'd be no need for a site like this and if it did exist it would be BORING!

Regards,

Brian
