I beg to differ.
While on ordinary ocassions, sashes are more common on women, I've seen lots of photos of gentlemen wearing sashes. Both the diagonal and around the waist.

Looks RenFaireish


One of the oldes parts of the Scout Uniform, the Merit Badge Sash

Please note that His Imperial Majesty Napoleon III is wearing both a waist sash and a diagonal sash

This one comes from the Phoenix Masonry Museum.
And next time you are in a liquor store, note the Highlander on the Dewars White Label Scotch Whisky label. Not only is he wearing a plaid, and white cross-belt (diagonal right shoulder to left hip), but he is also wearing a yellow sash draped from left shoulder to right hip.
In addition to the above photos and paintings, there are many formal occassions when a gentleman wears a sash as a badge of office. I believe that sashes are customary among the diplomatic corps for white tie events.
Sashes on men might be out of the ordinary, but they are NOT INCORRECT, IMHO.
So if it suits your taste and style, go for it Ron!
