Wearing two different tartans together

[Panache]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Periodically the subject of wearing two different tartans in the same outfit come up on our forum.

Some time back I found a beautiful Black Watch wool tartan blazer at a thrift store. It happened that last week I came across a perfect Lindsey tartan waist coat. Looking at the colors of both tartans I decided to give combining them a try.

It isn't a kilted outfit, but I could just as easily be wearing a solid color black kilt instead of trousers.



The question is does this work?

Cheers

Aye, of course it works. That's why our unit (Muskets of the Crown, Inc.) enjoys doing Jacobite, cause of the mixing and (un)matching of tartans.

I am no expert on colors, but looks ok to me.

The answer, Yes. At least it works for me. I can't comment though on what others might say.

Looking good! Just not a bow tie fan but that is me not you.

I think it looks great, Jamie!

Those two work together.

In my mind with the right attitude it works. And I do believe sir that you have the attitude to make it happen. I, on the other hand, would come off looking much less put together.

It sort of works. I think it would be better with black bifurcated whatchamacallits.

Looks good to me.

You're looking very, erh, bookish there.

Regards,
