My new jacket and accessories for The Bridge of Allan Games

Hello all,

First pictures posted here. I am aware of the comments that are bound to ensue so I will put them to rest now
Jacket slightly to long but for £90 for genuine harris tweed I didn't do too badly!
Sporran a bit high
Some would not care for pocket watch for daywear
Some would also not choose ghillies for daywear

But that said, I had a fantastic day wearing it with a lovely moment when a Canadian family wanted their picture with me, presenting me with a Canadian lapel pin afterwards.

A must say out for us all. A great opportunity to show off the kilt.

That looks really fine. Congratulations.

Gazbot I think you have done very well, sporran is at a good height, most people wear it too low. Pocket watch is spot on for day wear. We'll forgive the ghillie brogues, whatever floats your boat. All in all I would say that you were very nicely turned out for the occasion. Well done.

I also think your sporran is at the correct height and whenever I wear a wiastcoat, I wear a pocket watch. I think you are very well turned out.
Cheers

I'm another for your outfit looks great. And specifically, your sporran is just right to my eye. Definitely well turned out.

Looks good. Vests and pocket watches are made for each other. Sporran looks fine to me, and a quick trip to a tailor will result in a perfect fit.

Congratulations on a good deal made.

Looks good to me.

You worry too much, you look just fine!

Looking good.
That's a really good plaudit that a Canadian family chose you to be photographed with. From memory of previous Bridge of Allan games there are a lot of people attend in smart highland dress so anybody wanting to include a kilted person in their photograph would have plenty to choose from.
