The sun is finally shining this Sunday afternoon here in Germany. It has been a loooong wet spring! So I thought I would try to get some pics of my new SWK Saffron Heavyweight. (Click on this link: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/grafvilseck/my_photos then on kilt2

I got the kilt about a month ago and have been wearing it around the house. It is very heavy, over 4 pounds, but very comfortable. I've been trying to put together accessories that would go with it. I think dark green would be OK. I have a green polo shirt and lovat green socks. Dark green socks are on order and I think they will look better.

Today I put on a new light yellow shirt, cream socks. Also wearing a dark brown sporran I received Saturday from ebay. Reasonable price for a casual sporran and delivery was fast. I'm looking for a brown belt, but haven't found one I like yet, so I'm wearing a black belt. (I know it's not done, but just pretend it is brown)

The other thing I wanted to see is how it looked with socks pushed down. Many of you go that way for everyday or casual. Afraid it's not for me, however. I'm socks pulled up from now on! For those of you with the legs for it, go ahead, it just isn't me.

Any way, at the risk of seeing some of these on the Don't page, it was a fun hour, with my wife taking the pictures and providing commentary.

The yellow shirt looks washed out in the pics, but better in person. Also tried on a yellow sweater that is just a shade darker. I like the yellow/brown combination.

I'm probably going to wear some variant of this on Thursday to a casual barbeque, and on Friday, I'll dress up a little more for a military Hail and Farewell. Probably wear my Clan Hay kilt and Argyll jacket.

Thanks to all who post pictures, it's good to see what some of the possibilities are before spending a lot of money.
