I got my tie this week and believe today as good a day as any to put myself together for a picture or two... bumping this thread so I don't forget.

Here's another ABF tie pic of me that I haven't posted in this thread yet:

Hopefully this isn't to "Matchy" for the Rabble... The shirt is not a tattersail, but a yellow gingham check with blue pinstripe windowpane. It's my favorite shirt...

Close up of the tie and shirt. At the last second my wife demanded "DON'T LOOK BORED!" so I made a face...

And now, a quick change of hose, shoe, sgian, sporran strap, removing the vest and hat and replacing it with a waistplate and black argyle... (note that my hose matches NOTHING in my wardrobe... there isn't a "burnt pumpkin orange" anywhere in my outfit, yet to my eye I find it looks great.

Well done, Joshua! There are so many things I love about your outfits. The Caledonia tartan is one of my favorites! I love that shade of blue of your Mackie. I am a great fan of monk strap shoes. Your shirt is spot on!

That is one suggestion. A wee dandelion in your crest badge!

Thanks! The shoes are the most comfortable I've ever owned, in the unstructred line made by Clark's... think these are the un Morris ones with the strap. I've begged and pleaded with their customer service folks to extend their wide shoe line to some of their more classic shoe styles to no avail...

And yes, I'm such a fan of the Caledonia tartan I have two... one 8 yard from sho and a casual from usa kilts.
