Black Kilt Ensemble/Outifit/Attire/&c.
Heya folks...
Still something of a noob here, and mostly just browse other people's posts, but I remember seeing something awhile back about someone who had an all-black kilt ensemble. (I also seem to remember his saying that other people razzed him about it.) I was hoping that perhaps there were some pictures out there, or that other folks might offer me advice on colour matching -- shirts, ties, hose, flashes, &c.
Recently I had the pleasure of acquiring my first "real" kilt (as opposed to a MUG -- not really a distinction I care about, but some others do), and it's a black Freedom Kilts dress model. I also have ordered a black Argyll jacket. Over the next two months, I will need to wear this combination on two occasions: one is my students' grad commencement ceremonies (I teach highschool); the other is their grad banquet and dance.
For the commencement, I have bottle green kilt hose and black flashes, and a bottle green dress shirt. I have no idea what colour necktie to wear, but was thinking black since I like to keep things simple, subdued, and dark. There's also a semi-dress sporran in black leather, with white bovine hair facing and a silver Scotch thistle on the flap.
For the banquet I was thinking all black (black hose, black dress shirt), but with a cream/"oatmeal"/otherwise off-white tie... alas, I wouldn't know what to do for flashes. Off-white too? And I have a dress sporran with cantle and white and brown bovine hair facing.
Okay, my post is turning into a total mess of randomness. I have no brain. I'll just leave this here for responses, thoughts, criticisms, and maybe a picture of someone's black kilt attire.
