I've just taken delivery of a Jacobean shirt from www.tartanwear-direct.com. I have to say that it looks fantastic with the tartan kilt I've got (I also got that from tartanwear-direct).

Tops were a problem for me at first. I found a number of my shirts just didn't look right with the kilt. I've got some "ribbed" tops (short and long-sleeved) and they look good and I've bought other tops/t-shirts specifically to go with the kilts.

One definite no-no, as I've found, is wearing a coat which extends below your bottom. Looks awful (especially if its very cold and you have to do it up)!

Question : I have one or two tops that I prefer to wear without tucking them in - I also dispense with the belt for these (as the buckle bulges underneath the top). Is this bad form? Should tops always be tucked in?

Cheers
David.
