Kilted funeral

[Jock Scot]

I have black flashes because they were on sale when I bought my second kilt and I thought they would be better for solemn occasions than the tartan flash that came with the kilt, which I tend to associate with hunting garb (that would be 'shooting' garb in British parlance). But why not a bow tie? I never found a regular long tie 'goes' with the shorter jackets or coats worn with kilts, I mean when looking in the mirror.

Yes there is a world of difference between shooting and hunting over here.. Apart from that, tartan flashes are regarded almost as a no-no by the kilt wearers over here and in the shooting world, flashes worn at all, is regarded as a no-no by many of the "old school". Guess where I am on that subject? Rarely, if ever, are bow ties worn with kilt day wear over here, particularly at funerals, in fact, I have never seen one worn at a funeral.
