Sweaters

Sweaters are great accessories to wear with the kilt -- and are especially wonderful on chilly days.

Here is one that my talented wife just finished knitting for me yesterday. I was very happy to give it its debut wearing today.

Very sharp sweater, Matt. I’m a big fan of wearing sweaters with my kilts. Really like the look of the photo.

Very nice. Your wife is a talented knitter.

Looks great Matt.

I often wear a sweater with my kilts. They are comfortable and can be used when one must wear pants (can I say that here?). Thanks for the timely reminder, Matt.

Looks great! The wide collar is nice.

The sweater is a very important part of my kilt attire wardrobe, as is a fleece. Looking very smart there Matt.

Very nice sweater Matt. I also use sweaters as a casual kilt accessory. I use all sorts of sweaters, v-neck, round neck, hood, thick and thin, but I don't have a cable knitt sweater. I just have to get me one of those.
Very cool effect on your picture by the way.
Skål!

Although it would be great to have a significant other or dear friend who would knit one for each of us, I have found the next best thing to be Ebay, where I have purchased several at outlandishly low prices in a rainbow of colors and variety of styles/necks/patterns, most still with the original new tags still in place, and most from Arran Isle knitting companies. Some of us are not as fortunate as Matt, not that our spouses are not equally loving, just not necessarily equally talented in the same arenas.

Nice sweater Matt, compliments to you and the wife.

As an aside, did you photoshop that photo by either solarizing it or Black & White then colorizing it before posting, or is it simply my display that is yielding that unusual overall visual effect?
