Jambothump Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Correct. Get a kilt instead. Seconded, if you are going wear our made up national dress, go the full monty, not the watered down version.

AlimOzturk Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Depends on the tartan but Armstrong along grass market do a lot of good second hand military kilts. They have trousers as well not sure of the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Nothing wrong with tartan trousers imo they get a bad rep due to the cheap shitey ones getting an airing far more often than good ones. It all depends on the tartan. Some tartans are Nicer than others, same for kilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not a fan on most occasions but I have seen them looking good sometimes. Needs to be a subtle tartan I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think dress tartans look good in trouser form. Dress stewart/Mcdonald would both look good, fly plaid with the Prince Charlie Jacket would look super especially if they are fitted.

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Don't do it, they're ridiculous things. This. David Niven, the actor, recalled in his autobiography that after he had been to Sandhurst, he asked to be posted to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders or the Black Watch, then put on the form as his third choice "anything but the Highland Light Infantry" as he hated the fact the HLI wore tartan trews rather than kilts. The army showed it too had a sense of humour. By posting him to the HLI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Tartan trews are great. I have two kilts as I have a few black tie doos every year with work and I fancied a wee change and the trews look really smart and English bursd love them as much as the kilt. I got mine second hand from Armstrongs a good few years ago and they are the proper thick cut military ones. A word of caution though, you sweat like a bassa in them as they are feckin roasting.

Sooperstar Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Brown shoes on GTF Would always be my choice but there is a school of thought that with a blue suit it's brown for casual and black for formal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I got a pair of military cut trews from Hector Russell on Princes St many years ago for about ?250. Made to measure, still have them and still fit well and look great. I got the KOSB tartan. As a lowlander trews are the dress wear as a dress tartan kilt is for a highlander. I much refer wearing them to black tie functions because kilts & Prince Charlie inevitably look dishevelled after you've been bevelling whereas trews with the same jacket & waistcoat keep you looking sharp as a tack. However a word of warning you must always buy the military cut version for this as any other type of tartan trouser should only be seen on a golf course (and even then rarely).

Armageddon Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Made to measure, Military cut. Any recommendations. Preferably Edinburgh. 100% do it BUT the advice I'm going to give you is DO NOT get the military cut. Mine were made to measure and military cut but quickly had the legs slimmed right down and they look slick. Kilts have lost their appeal with me, every Tom, Dick and Harry knocks about in a kilt these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
