We saw episode 5 late this afternoon. I don't watch much TV, and was dogged tired, figured it would put me to sleep. Nope, kept me awake. I am very much enjoying the show.

I'm totally enjoying the series, having been a fan of the books for ages. I found episodes 3 and 5 particularly powerful and evocative.

I agree, Dale. Especially Episode 5: "Rent."

Hi everyone,
I am the costume designer on Outlander, and have visited this site many times while doing kilt research. Just saying hello and good work! Glad so many of you are enjoying the show.
Those are French military boots. Jamie and the other Highlanders served in the French military. We would have LOVED to have actors running around barefoot, but unfortunately the practicality of shooting in the dead of winter, at night, made this impossible. Ghillie shoes would gave been very difficult as well. We came up with the next best thing. Shoes on period shows are the bane of every costume designers nightmare.
Anyway, keep up the kilt love!

Thanks for the input, Terry, and welcome to Xmarks!
If you haven't seen it yet, there's another thread specifically on wardrobe, language, and other elements of the show here:

I assure you we're pretty aware of the near impossibility, and certain impracticality, of getting everything "absolutely right", so I hope the observations won't be taken personally by anyone. I for one am a longtime fan of the books and am loving the show!

So nice of you to join in. Welcome! I posted a link to your blog in the other thread about costuming so folks could see and read.

Terry, thank you so much for taking the time to join us on this forum.
I imagine trying to keep clothing period-correct is a challenge, when operating within a time and financial budget.
XmarkstheScot being a kilt forum, the members have a tendency to be a bit OCD about their favorite topic. I think you have done a great job. I am really enjoying the show. Living in Canada I have only seen the first three episodes -- certainly looking forward to all the rest.
