    My Irish uniform

    This is what I wore when I piped for the flag raising at the state capitol on St. Patrick's Day. The most of the uniform belongs to me. Only the doublet, cross belt, and spats belong to my pipe band.





    I wish there were more, but I had to pirate these as it is.

    You look very smart Greg, but it really says something about your skill as a piper that you were chosen to play at the raising of the flags.

    Well done

    Cheers

    Very Sharp indeed! Bravo!
    Forgive my ignorance but I've been seeing quite a bit about the Saffron color kilt and it being Irish... what is the meaning or significance please.

    Saffron is the traditional color of some ancient Irish clothing. The saffron kilt is just a nod to that tradition....plus it looks great with a green doublet!

    Indeed, the saffron kilt does go exceptionally well with the green doublet!

    You make a great first impression, there! (And the second impression's not bad, either! )
