    Good heavens, man - if you can afford a kilt and PC you can afford more than one jumper!

    I’ll have to look through my others; most of them I’ve had for a long time and they’ve seen better days, or else they’d clash with Black Watch. I had one particular jumper in mind because it goes well with my tam.

    Technicaloly and traditionally, nothing clashes with any tartan. Tartan is considered to stand on its own. Black Watch in particular is unlikely to ‘clash’ even in the eye of someone who doesn’t understand that. No need to go matchy.

    You could wear the PC without a waistcoat and with a dress belt if you have one.

    You could also wear a cummerbund (without the belt). I have seen this combination, which works quite well, a number of times over the years. Black cummerbunds are usually available from quality men's wear shops.

    When I wear the PC without the waistcoat, I always wear a black bow tie, never a long tie. This is to keep with the formality level (is that a thing?) of the jacket. I wear a black belt with silver buckle as well. I'm not a fan of the cummerbund with kilt look.

    I’m not a big fan of cummerbunds in general. Just my personal taste. Or maybe my body shape.

    The comment on wearing a belt with a silver buckle reminds me that I’ve read that it’s recommended not to wear a kilt belt with a vest. So, if I’m not wearing the vest, a kilt belt with the PC should be less frowned upon? Not that anyone in the pub will care . . .
