    It needs the tie because of the way the jacket looks. The epaulet makes the shoulder square, begging a formality that is just incomplete without a tie. It think it's why MoR likes the the non-tie look with a pullover. I agree with him, and I almost never wear a tie with sweater. Not that I wouldn't, I just haven't

    Are you wearing the Crail with your kilt or with britches? If you wear it with the kilt, I agree that you need a tie. If you're wearing it with trousers, you'll look like waiter, since the Crail is shorter than a "regular" jacket.

    No, I'm thinking only of the kilt. I just used the trousers as a descriptive tool to illustrate the look I was after.

    Thanks for the response.
