    Tradition, man, tradition. If I remember, everything tartan other than the kilt itself is typically worn on the bias----ties, plaids, vests, jackets, those old-style tartan hose I think are called cadagh---pretty much everything cut and worn on the bias.

    I see! Well, thanks, just don't feel that's something I need to follow, though, since I'm not Scottish.

    I am with you brother. Although I am of scottish descent and proud of that heritage, but I don't live in Scotland. I follow this forum for knowledge and suggestions about style and tradition but don't always feel restricted by convention simply for convention's sake.
