| | | Tie with Prince Charlie
Hi,
I have seen pictures of people wearing a tie with the Prince Charlie coat and low 3 button vest instead of the bow tie. I'm considering this for my wedding, and I was wondering if this is appropriate with the standard 3 button vest or if there is a special low cut vest that makes the wearing of the tie/ruche approrpriate. Thanks!

I've never seen a PC worn like this, or with this type of vest. Sure it wasn't an Argyll jacket? IMO, the PC only works with the bowtie and the PC vest...

Bow tie and PC vest are the way to go for a wedding.

Here's the thing.
Technically you're supposed to wear a 5 button waistcoat and tie/cravat with an Argyle jacket and a bow tie and 3 button waistocat with a PC.
But... and this is a big but... It's YOUR wedding.
If you actually go to a kilt hire place and say 'Hey, I'd really like the PC jacket but a 5 button waistcoat and a cravat to match my flashes.' they'll usually accomodate you with minimal extra cost.
I, personally, hate bow ties. They make me look like I have no neck. So I would always try to wear a tie and a 5 button with my PC when I was wearing it.
The thing is, for all that I love tradition and respect it and will tell people not to wear their kilt sideways or down to their ankles or whatever, it's clothing.
It's your clothing and your wedding and your pictures. So wear it how you want it as long as you are comfortable and happy and wear it with pride.

It is your wedding too but don't wear the long tie. It is just wrong looking.
Bow Tie is the only way to go.
Clean, classy, and always in style.

I have a couple of scrunchie cravats and they go great with a PC providing you have a wing collar shirt
