Auld, it justs goes to show "No accounting for taste" (or I have none, which my wife would probably agree with!), but I actually thought the pinstripe kilt and jacket looked very sharp and professional for business attire, especially in a more conservative industry like banking (which is what I have to deal with). I have had a very good acceptance to wearing the kilt, but if I had chosen to just "go for broke" and worn one to the office one day, I think that wearing one of the TFCK pinstripes, or other more formal materials, with a jacket, would make any arguments about the kilt being unprofessional a moot point!
Having said that, I honestly don't remember how wide the pinstripes were on that suit! Just thought it looked good. I also really liked their blue twill tank. I almost got a hernia lifting it off the rack!

and BTW, it was 21st Century Kilts at the Chicago Celtic festival, and I would guess probably the same gentleman.
