Great Kilt worn as formal attire

[tartanartist]

It is the gunn modern tartan.

Thank you for the compliments. I used a two belt method to get the pleats to stay in nice. I felt as comfortable in it as I normaly would in a standard 5 or 8 yard kilt with a fly plaid. I would encourage anyone curious about trying the formal great kilt look to give it a try at least once.

I will apologise to start with.

Sorry

I do not like the look.

From the side, you look either pregnant or grossly overweight.

From the back, the jacket looks as if it doesn't fit. The tails have nowhere to hang so they bunch up. There is also something going on with your right sleeve that I don't understand; it looks twisted or the jacket is too big across the shoulders.

From the front, all that spare material gives you a "spare tyre" look.

Although it is seen as quite modern, I have never appreciated the black shirt and white tie look. The PC is a black tie garment and that means a bow tie and a white shirt. Personally, I have no objection to club/society/college ties with the PC, but they should be bow ties. A three button waistcoat requires a bow tie. A five button can be worn with either bow or long.

The juxtaposition of the historic kilt with the modern shirt and tie really jars as far as I am concerned.

I appreciate that this might sound brutal, but you did ask what I thought, so I will apologise again.

Sorry

Regards

I'd agree... sorry, but in my opinion the ensemble just doesn't work.
