What Tie to wear?
I'm sure this has been discussed so I'll apologize now for not being able to find it in a search (tie is too short and combinations haven't helped). I've only really worn my kilt at casual functions until recently. Now that my new (to me) PC/vest have arrived I need some advice on neck wear.
When is it best to wear - tartan tie, tartan bow tie, black bow tie?
With a PC I have to say a Black bow tie, and please a self tie not a clip on if you do not know how to tie one I found this wonderful video on youtube that is really great in my opinion.

I would definitely say black bow tie. The kind you tie yourself. Only wee lads of four, tops five and under should wear a clip on. This is my personal feeling though, others are free to differ and I'm sure they will. Yes, my two Lads can wear a tie and tie it as well. My oldest just turned seven and my youngest will turn five in a couple of months. In fact they love to dress up. The lassies start tae flock when they see my lads approaching .
Try ebay I found two different black self tie bow ties on ebay a little while ago.

BeauTies, Ltd in Vermont has a wide selection of bow ties, with solids of many colors. Some are solid, plain, while others have woven patterns. I have a black and silver strip which is very dressy with my PC and wing collar shirt, and I have a green with woven texture which is an exact match for my bottle green Braemar jacket. They aren't the cheapest bow ties on the market, but their quality is superb.
