SLOT Uniform?
Anyone know what kind of shirts SLOT are wearing? They are always a really well turned out band IMO, and that charcoal grey look is quite classy I think.

They always look pretty sharp. Sound good too.

They appear to be a simple forward point collared shirt, with french-cuffs, in black. Not my cup of tea, but to each is own.
Cheers,

Big fan of St.Laurence O'Toole! Had to think about the question because I've seen them in so many different outfits. But it sounds like you're asking about the black or grey long-sleeved french cuff shirts? Always a classy look, I get mine here;

I get many of my dress shirts, especially french cuff shirts here as well. The selling point for me is that I can get them in my size. No easy chore when you consider I have an 18 1/2 inch neck, 49 inch chest, 33 inch sleeve with a 33 inch waist. Their athletic cut 18 1/2, 33's fit me like they were tailor made.
I like the look of a black shirt with a tie that coordinates with my kilt, with either a black waistcoat, or black waistcoat and black Braemar for a bit of a more modern look for dinners, theatre or public functions.

*** on that!
I gave up trying to get 17 1/2 x 34 dress shirts at stores long ago. I guess most vendors figure if you have a neck over 17 inches you must have arms like a gorilla and be big as a house.

Maybe I'll have to try there. Seems stores around here think if you have smaller than a 16 neck (I wear 15.5), you're a small guy, and can't have long arms. Hard finding 35 sleeves, mostly all I can find are 32-33

Re: SLOT Uniform?
It is good to know of a Band that goes with something different that the standard - cookie cutter look of most pipe bands.
I know of the hassles of finding shirts that fit. 19 inch neck, sleve 34/35 and chest of 50and 210lbs. I am only 5'11", to many years of lifiing weights and base ball (I was catcher made to semi-pro for a season, when you are built liek a fire plug no runs you over ). I was a cop for 13 years, I didn't have to kick doors in, I ran through them. My son is 6'5" and 305.
Try Casual Male for the sizes us normal folk need.
