Quick! I need a fix.

[Benning Boy]

Finally got the pictures I promised done today. Sunny days have been uncommon here for a while, and generally when the sun has shone The Woman has been at work. Today we had sunshine, and she was home, so now there are pics of Bonnie's wonderfully reworked Holyrood Golden Jubilee kilt.

The colors look fairly true, I think the camera automatically adjusted for the light conditions. However these pics were made later in the day, when our winter sun was sinking low. Not the best conditions for photographing true colors. The forum manage attachments function forced me to greatly reduce the size of these images and reduce the resolution considerably, so they aren't as sharp as they are in my photo editing program, but still reasonable representation.

Anyway, here they are.

A shot of the entire me. I left the sporran off so the pattern would be fully seen. A tight shot of the kilt apron showing the tartan full-on, and a dismal attempt at the Hamish, to give some idea of how it's pleated.

I've pretty well adopted Steve Ashton's idea if you match the hose and shirt, or in this case a sweater, you can pretty much wear any kilt in between. The hose and sweater in the shots are a creamy white, with brown flecks throughout. The sweater is English, the hose German. Never tried this combination before, but I think it works.

Good on you, looks great.

And yes, Bonnie is a true wizard...seeing your pics does reinforce the reputation.
