    The tie was ok but will take a bit more work to get even.

    For those who didn't see last year -


    Last year was a Sport kilt (though I still do want Edzell),a clip on, white hose, red flashes and a cheap rabbit fur sporran.

    Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean Drac looked bad last year; he looked fine. I'm just saying he took it to the next level this year
