New look

[Mr. Kilt]

After watching Caledon perform last night on PBS, I was rather intrigued by their use of black shirts with their kilts. It also reminded me that I had a never-before-worn black dress shirt hiding in a closet upstairs. This morning I decided to see how it would look with my SWK Gordon. Here's the result...I kinda like it, as does my wife! Might have to invest in more long-sleeve button up shirts.

Side note...just as my wife snapped the pic Lincoln, our diabetic cat, wandered into the shot. :rolleyes:

Looks good Al. I have always used my black dress shirt with my kilts and have yet to find one it doesn't work well with.

Looks good to me. I think I'll go get a black dress shirt

[Big Dave]

That's a great look.

S-H-A-R-P!!! There doesn't seem to be much black won't compliment and you wear it and the kilt well.

Slainte' !

It looks good. It's made me re-think black.

I love wearing black dress shirts, black pullover sweaters, and dark gray fleece vests with my kilts. Here is a recent pic at a cowboy-themed wedding (hint: I'm the one in the kilt.)

The only problem I've noticed with black dress shirts is that they fade noticeably after a few washes. Maybe it's the bleaches they put in laundry detergent these days. Anyway, the shirt looks great. Black goes with a lot of things. It's a "slimming" color as well.

Enjoy!

Al...you look great!

And I love cats

Coincidentally I just got some black peach faced fabric to make a long sleeved tunic to go with my Black Stewart - it needs something a bit more upmarket than the usual - I think some small silver buttons are going to be really essential to the look.

I usually avoid black as it is so goth - but it really does give some tartans an edge.

Black definitely makes a statement - even with a kilt - or is that particularly with a kilt?
