Shalom Y'all,

I finally went ahead and bought my first kilt, a great kilt! It is actually 5 meters of 14 oz. Canadian wool in the Ramsay Tartan (I like the colors: black, white, and blue). I checked out many different sources for how to put it together and how to utilize it for adverse weather conditions. Although it is not my highland clan tartan (Mac Bean), I got a good deal on it. My question begins with the idea of trying to pull off an 18th century look. I would have liked to have a proper Scottish bonnet, but time and money prohibited it. What I currently have to choose between is a red beret and a black slouch hat.

Anyone care to share an opinion on which would go better with a blue lowlander tartan and a green vest for an 18th century look? It is going on this weekend.

Thanks ahead for all the advice while I get things ready for my wife and two daughters as we are all dressing up for the occasion.
