    Talking New Stuff

    I've had some recent purchases and got the opportunity to put them to good use on Easter.

    SWK heavyweight Irish saffron shadow tartan.
    Hand knit "Ryan Ross" bonnet from STM. I removed the toorie after I received it. I like the non-toorie look better.
    House of Labhran claret garter ties. Great service from them. A little hold up in customs, but definitely not their fault.

    my belt had slipped down a little before that photo. For some reason I didn't tighten it to my normal preference. So the kilt fit and the belt didn't.

    Great pleats on the saffron. The new 2012's are great. I was very surprised in the quality.

    A very well put-together look. I like the drop-needle sporran, especially.

    It's the simple pin day sporran from USA kilts. My wife picked it out, and it's been my go to sporran ever since. I tend to like simpler looks.

    I just received the very same sporran two days ago. I'm looking forward to trying it out soon. Your photo is good. I love the simple color scheme. I've been looking at tartans so much lately, it's a nice change to see something a bit more monochromatic and subtle.

    I think it looks great! This is one of the rare instances where a plain black shirt really goes well with the overall look. The entire look is clean and simple. Nice!

    Well-appointed Scottish-style outfit (North American variant), beautiful lady at your side, and a red, crew-cab pickup in the driveway. What else is there?
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
