OVER THE TOP: peacocks amongst the penguins

Teufel H,

Somehow I missed your stunning photo. I hope people will remember this shot when pondering a Montrose doublet. Well done, indeed, sir, and THANKS to all who have contributed so far.

Last time I wore my kilt in 1999. Tartan is the Utah Centennial Tartan which I co-designed with the late Dr. Phil Smith. Got then Gov. Mike Leavitt to sign into law. If I was to have a new kilt it would be the Irish National.

Slightly OT, but while I recognise the neck jewel of the Noble Society of the Celts, I cannot place your brest star and badge -- is the one from the Augustan Society?

Two years ago one of our USA members gave me her late father's waistcoat in Cunningham tartan. The 'merican lassies seem to love the look of the matching kilt and waistcoat, though personally I feel it is over the top tartan and I prefer to wear the kilt and the waistcoat separately.

I think the garish red Modern Cunningham kilt looks better when it is paired with a black Argyle jacket.

Or the tartan waistcoat could be worn with black trousers or a black kilt.

A saffron kilt is perhaps a bit over the top when worn with matching polo shirt and soccer socks.

That last tends to look a little like you are dressed to work on building a highway, to avoid being run over by traffic! I know the first time I saw myself in reflection in my saffron kilt I was taken aback by how bright it really was, and I was mainly dressed in green besides the kilt.

Cajunscot: Lower badge is "Order of Armigerous Augustans" and the breast star is "Company of the Rose" a noble company in the Augustan Society. I don't wear these anymore cause I'm inactive.

Aha! I thought it might be an AS badge. Unfortunately, there are no pictures on the AS web site of their regalia, more's the pity.

Er.... is there sad news in the tartan world that I am unaware of, or was this a mistake in your post?

Maybe people were offended that you looked more like the groom than the groom... Although, I wouldn't blame you entirely... The bride does seem to be giving the impression that she is gravitating towards you somewhat... ;)

Cheers!

LOL thats exactly what I thought. Her groom is holding onto her arm like "this way, sweetie. To your left!"

told you women like the kilt

You mean the groom is on the right in the picture?

I officiated a Goth/Highland wedding a while back. I made the mistake of dressing traditionally. Here's the wedding party:



And here's the piper and I:



Another wedding I officiated, I was the only kilted, by request of the bride and groom:



And the back yard wedding of my buddy Richard. Not only was I the only person in a kilt, I was the only white guy! Talk about standing out! This picture was taken at the reception. Richard told me to go home and change, that I looked like I was rather warm. So I put on my Albannach t shirt and pulled my socks down. Nice thing about this one was that Richard lives right next door to me, so going home to change was easy.
