    Seeing them worn, the effect is even more impressive than I had expected - and brings to mind this picture of the Prince of Wales and the hose he is wearing.

    HRH's hose-tops are contrasting, but they seem to have a similar small diagonal check.

    I won't mention that HRH is wearing ghillie-brogues...

    I gave the sporran a proper run out at the Abernethy Games last weekend. Different hose on that occasion.

    A classic demonstration of, how to and not to, wear kilt attire effectively.

    Could be? Although on magnification, it looks more like, the back panel of the jacket and perhaps the collar, are made of a different tweed. A new fashion?

    You're right bout the construction Jock. A personal, rather than a new, fashion me thinks. Call me old fashioned but personally, I prefer my jacket to be all of one sort and colour.

    That's ghastly IMHO.

    Reminds me of the ugly tweed "patch caps".
