Just A Thought.

That turned out very nicely.

And a big thank you to you Peter for your kind assistance in having this tartan woven as well as to Barbara Tewksbury for her fine work in producing the kilt for me.

As you're asking, I'm happy to oblige, old chap.

You see the front-row forwards of the Red Garter First XV.



Only one of the three is who he claims to be - the geriatric lounging louchely on a shooting-stick - the identities of the others is withheld for the safety and security of all concerned. Any similarity between the characters depicted and any living person is purely coincidental. Other parts are played by members of the public.

Or something like that.

Anyway, that's what they say in the movies when they want to protect the innocent.

A very well turned out trio.
That is a great shot my friend. Wonderful kit on all three of you gentlemen.

A brace and a half of finely attired kilted gentlemen.

But........BUT........ as seen in this thread and through the many thousands of other kilted pictures posted throughout the threads here on this splendid website, do demonstrate well, to many here, that all around the World those who wear the kilt in their own way, in their own time are to be applauded. Some take immense trouble to wear their kilt and attire in a traditional way. Others influenced by the climate and an undoubted enthusiasm choose a different style and fair enough. No one, who has been a member on this website for a while will be surprised that my choices are made from the more traditional style and I think for fairly obvious reasons, but, there is no escaping the fact wherever and however the kilt is worn throughout the world, many enjoy wearing the kilt and even more enjoy seeing the kilt being worn. Long may it last!

Keep posting those pictures!

You're dead right, Jock!

The kilt is versatile garment, and should be worn as you would wear trousers - there are both styles and appropriate forms of dress for all occasions.

Me and the lads had put in a bit more effort for this day - it was Braemar, and The King might have seen us, so we all dressed in a way that we would like to be seen by The king. And why not? He's a pretty natty kilter himself, so perhaps appreciates it when his humble subjects make the effort too.

Oddly enough, no planning had gone into our meeting, and certainly no dress-code agreed, and it was purely by chance that we got together. Hence the photo.

Last year but it's a nice photo

We had a party a few days ago, and I wore this. A bit simpler than some of the previous photos.



Also, as a note that getting quality does last, the following picture is of my wife and I dated on the back 1987. That is the same kilt and sporran. And I still use the same bonnet, hose and flashes now and again. Although I do have some extenders on the straps now.



I believe I have shrunk, as I seem to show a little less knee these days...

Any chance you can identify the shoes worn by the gentlemen in the middle? I'm in the market for wide toe-box brogues, and I'd like a better look at them.

They are a generic black brogue - that is, not specifically Highland dress brogues - and have a welted rubber sole.

If you are looking for 'proper' brogues, check out these - https://stkildastore.com/store/Clear...s/Duke-Brogues - Scotch grain leather uppers and fully-welted leather sole. Others on this forum have bought them and have been delighted.

A Scotch grain Highland brogue intended for wearing with Highland dress - why would you want anyhthing different..?

Had hours of fun burning down the grain on issue ones and then bullying them. :-)
