Outside the box, under the chin

[jsrnephdoc]

We're now just over 2 months shy of Burns Night suppers. I'm having trouble finding one in the VERY large entertainment-driven American city of Las Vegas, but still trying. Maybe I'll have to "roll my own" in my new home here. I'm pretty sure I could find a piper, and Rocky Roeger has identified for me on this month's Kilts and Culture episode a credible source for "sanitzied" Haggis (made from lamb rather than from what's left over after everything marketable has been sold).

But, if or as I prep, I have a sartorial question. How horrendous a faux pas would it be to wear a celebratory bit of Burns Check tartan (in a bow tie) with one of my own family tartan kilts? The Burns Check tartan is simple enough that I think it could be worn atop almost ANY Argyll jacket and waistcoat, and though DRAMATICALLy different from any of my family's dress or hunting tartans, if it's use is confined just to a bow would that be something NO ONE here could approve of? (I wouldn't do so on any other occasion, or at least only a gathering where something related to Burns's poetry is featured).
