Outlander Wardrobe and language

OK, here it is. The pattern I had didn't have cuffs so I added some. Great Kilt with sleeveless waistcoat (colonial that I bought off of Etsy and I shortened), cravat, and sleeved waistcoat I made (also shortened). The Sporran is an inexpensive one and I would like to get a better one next year. I found a cast brass 2" buckle from England and have ordered some leather to make a baldric and would like to get a basket hilt sword for the outfit. Maybe I can add it this next year.

The outfit was a big hit at the party.

Me and a friend who went out and found a plaid St. Patrick's Day tie as the closest he could get in one day as sort of a plaid but he is wearing a Tam O'Shanter from Gloria at Historical Caps. By the end of the night we had him wearing it properly.

Next year will be the hosts 10th Burns Night. This was my 4th.

I love it! It all works together well. The fireplace photo is the perfect touch. Well worth all the effort and hope you enjoy it often.

Some anachronistic dirks here:

The guy to the right of Jamie (background, with horse) has what looks like a brass-mounted version of the dirk Colum wore at the Gathering; handle style is closer to 1800. Jamie's & Dougal's dirks are more mid-to-late1600s, though Highland thrift could argue for hand-me-downs in decent condition. The other guy, center foreground -- can't see his well enough.

I'm looking for a good waistcoat like the ones shown. Has anyone dealt with this place before?
