    Late night shot

    At least for me. Just got home after a hot night sitting in an uncomfortable chair at a St. Andrews Society meeting. My back still hurts!

    I was a guest for the 2nd time, and was told to dress casually for their annual BBQ before the meeting. So I did the best I could. Turns out the only other fellow there in a kilt was also a guest! None of the members were kilted, which was just surprising to me.

    When I went, my sleeves were down and buttoned. I labored over what to wear, as I have a wide variety of spread collar shirts. As it was I went with a blue shirt, green hose, and a black belt, with red flashes for a bit of color.

    Does my kilt look fitted right? I was measured by the kilt maker, and just wonder if it seems a tad too long? Maybe not, but I rely on the rabble here to set me straight, and know they will!

    That is exactly the height, that I wear mine. Which, I am sure, you will agree is exactly the right height.

    Frank: I see a lot of knee there, so I think it's spot on. I like the height at which you are wearing it, too. And, what you have I have. It is NOT fat. It is a symbol of prosperity and contentment.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Looks great. If you feel it is a tad long then pull it up a tad. Looks like it fits perfectly.

    Your kilt looks spot on to me . After a long hot night on an uncomfortable chair , I think you deserve a late night shot ... of single malt !
