JasMc1973 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Canne believe I'm asking you lot for advice, but here goes..... I am graduating in the summer and will be wearing my kilt.... that's the easy bit! I have a green kilt (galloway district)and also a BPC / bow tie - but i feel that is too formal for said event.. what are my alternatives? Argyll? was thinking of a dark grey Harris tweed jacket n wastcoat and wearing a normal tie- but on the latter anyone know where i can get a decent one without spending huge amounts of money. Reason I fancy the HT is that I can wear it again, where as the Argyll might not see the light of day as I'd probably wear the BPC to burns nights and new years etc any ideas or places to buy would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstroma Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Tartan tie to match the kilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I wore black Argyle jacket, waistcoat and black tie. Looked the shit, if I don't mind saying so myself. Was the only man in a kilt and it went down a storm (it was in Bristol cathedral). J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Bob Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 How often do you graduate?? It's a formal event, you've sweated brains to get there, you should be proud of yourself, go as dandy as you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishcumnock Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Ghillie shirt and waistcoat , nae probs getting stuck intae a drink efter (or a burd ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Think I had a plain green (woollen?) tie of the type they sell in kilt shops. Kilt is predominantly green. Then argyll jacket or something. Figured it wasn't bow tie (formal) or cravat (wedding). Anyway - it was in England and they don't have a clue anyway. Mission was accomplished later that evening anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Some unis require a white bow tie, some black. Not a big deal if you get it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDange Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Full dress. I went Prince Charlie jacket, 3 button waistcoat and black bow tie. Even if it's during the day it's still a big event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
