    My new PC arrived today

    My new Prince Charlie arrived today, just in time for Burns night, I ordered it from

    www.heritageofscotland.com

    I couldn't be happier, tried it on and I fits perfectly. I will post pictures soon we just got our daughter a digital camera for her birthday so I will get her to take it for me, anyway just wanted to let you all know I got it and I love it, and it really didnt take long to get across the pond to the colonies.
    I would recommend this company if you are looking for anything.

    Did you get the 'Budget' or the 'Scottish made'? I'd be curious about the differences.

    I got the budget because I might wear it a handful of times a year, it look as good in real life as it does on the site and the way the rental places around here charge it will pay for itself if I use it once.

    Oh and the only thing I asked for this year for Christmas was a Prince Charlie so my family gave me the money.

    All I had to do was to wait a little longer than everyone else, the money that I was given also paid for my new dress sporran, so it was worth the wait.

    Handsome formal outfit McMurdo!

    I'm sure Hamish would approve!

    Please add that picture to the X Marker's Formal pictures thread.

    I do indeed, James, and I must congratulate McMurdo on being so very fortunate with his purchase from a somewhat potentially 'dodgey' firm. I have visited their shops in Edinburgh a number of times and have been appalled by the poor quality of their merchandise. As on-the-street retailers they are very much into the 'let-us-catch-the-unsuspecting-tourist' type of business, and I am afraid I would not risk buying from them.

    This PC looks very nice and I am sure it will serve McMurdo well, but I am slightly concerned by the glimpse of white shirt just below the waistcoat. Short jackets of this type really require to be worn with traditional kilts - those with the full 2" or so 'rise'. McM you are absolutely right not to wear a belt, but I am wondering if a plain black cummerbund would be a good idea, in this instance, just to cover that unfortunate eyecatching white area above your kilt's waistband! It would make a big difference, in my 'umble opinion.

    Already done thanks Panache, I think I will have to try a "formal Hamish" and post it on the new thread as well.
