Get kilted out in style
Highland-wear is becoming a trend for weddings and special occasions - and not just North of the Border. More non-Scots are opting for the kilt, seeing it as something different and more original to the classic black tuxedo or morning suit. Some invitations now specifically request highland dress instead of black tie - something previously only seen in Scotland. Now Moss Bros Hire, the UK's biggest formalwear hire company, has joined forces with ACS Ñ the world's largest kilt hire company, to expand its Highland-wear range to meet demand. So, whether or not you have your own family tartan, the company, which has over 150 years of experience making men look good, is on hand to help you make the perfect choice and, just as importantly, how to look the part in traditional Scottish style. Moss Bros Hire has ten new styles, enlarging the tartan range to 16 in Scotland and 13 in England, plus many extras, including coloured sporrans, plaids and coloured hose. There is a stronger focus on the fashion element to the kilt and there are now non-clan tartans, such as the Black and Grey Spirit, which are both understated and elegant and fast becoming the most popular tartans in the range. Other tartans available in the collection include the Flower of Scotland, Welsh National, Blackwatch, Spirit of Bannockburn, Irish National and the Holyrood. All styles of kilts come with jacket and waistcoat and most are also available in a matching range of junior sizes. Prices for the new collection start from £65. Moss Bros Hire has produced a Highland Spirit brochure showing all its styles and colours, with some handy tips. Brochures are available at all their stores nationwide. The new kilt styles are being offered in 20 stores across the UK, with plans to increase the number by the end of the year.
