Groomsman at wedding

**KiltedCodeWarrior** · 29th January 13, 12:52 PM

I had a chance to be a groomsman at the wedding of some young friends on New Year's eve. Just now getting around to post a couple of pics. He just moved here from outside London (they have been dating for 4 years long distance), and the couple wanted to watch expenses for the wedding. They requested black suits for the best man and myself. Since I don't own a black suit anymore, I showed them this ensemble, and it was met with great approval. I had offered to wear a suit it they wanted me to, but they opted for this. The kilt is a SWK heavyweight in shadow tartan, black argyll, and the waistcoat was made by the groom's mother. It has a rose embroidered on the back (back is white satin). I know that many on this forum might not have chosen an SWK for wedding attire, but I think the entire outfit went together very well. I got more compliments on this outfit at the wedding than I have ever gotten on any kilt and jacket I have worn before.

Wonderful! I hope someday to make a shadow tartan kilt.

I agree, you look great. Those Stillwater heavyweights are amazing value and they are, at least, real wool. Fie on the haters

Looking good Sir!

As for your comment

"I know that many on this forum might not have chosen an SWK for wedding attire, but I think the entire outfit went together very well. I got more compliments on this outfit at the wedding than I have ever gotten on any kilt and jacket I have worn before."

I have to say that my Stillwater black heavyweight kilt has always made a big splash at events where I have worn it. They are unusual, handsome. and the black on black tartan is intriguing.

Cheers
