And your wife did a great job on the knitting, but you don't need me to tell you that! | No, but she still likes to hear it from someone other than her husband. :-)

There used to be a company years ago that would make neck ties with these similar regimental stripes, but based off of a tartan. In essence the sett of the tartan would only be shown in one direction, making stripes. But these ties were designed to wear with the kilt. I've seen a few older gents wearing them with their kilts and think they are a marvelous idea. | So is a "regimental style tie" meant to be worn without something underneath (like maybe without any undershirt), or only if you are wearing your kilt regimental?

Many clubs and organizations also have their own ties which identify the wearer as a bona fide member. For example, I frequently wear the tie of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, a hereditary society for descendents of Union Army Officers. MOLLUS was also the first organization in the USA to adopt a rosette: http://www.dexterrosettes.com/History/

As a proud owner of 3 Barb T's (and an excellent Newsome as well) I can state for a fact that Matt will treasure that kilt. Barb's work is crisp, clean, and highest quality available.
great looking kilt, Matt.

Fantastic Matt! I've been on the hunt for "regimental" striped ties myself.
