    You both look great. Everytime I hear of The Barber of Seville I think of the cartoon version with Bugs Bunny.

    A fine look. Your lady looks proud too. What a joy that is.

    Looks like you have all the gear for a traditional kilt waiting...hint hint hint....

    You must have been the best-dressed man at the opera. You both look wonderful. I just wish my spouse liked opera so that I could have the opportunity to go dressed that nicely.

    Thanks all.

    Bryan, the opera was great.

    SB, I think they borrowed some back from the cartoon. There was a bit of adlib through the night, kind of like Italian Marx brothers.

    David - what's a barber?

    Ron, you noticed! "Uh, dear, since I have all these accessories, they'll really go to waste without a traditional kilt". Yeah, that's the ticket.....

    Glassman, has he ever tried? I don't care to listen to opera but seeing it in person is quite different, especially a humorous show. Just the outing is half the fun.

    No, he won't even give it a try. And the silly thing is that he likes musicals! His opposition is that it's in a foreign language and he won't understand it.

    I told him that's what the libreto is for, but he still won't listen.

    That's not a traditional kilt? What kind is it?

    Is the white shirt you are wearing pleated in the front or not? I rarely wear formal clothing so I don't know which style (pleated or unpleated) would look the best.

    It's a SWK standard in Black Stewart. It's traditional styled but not a tank.

    The shirt is a tux shirt (from my tux getup) It's not pleated that I know of.

    Dale,

    Nice looking couple! The kilt does add that certain touch.

    I too have gone to the Opera, Symphony and the like while kilted, have to say, nothing but great compliments.

    You both look great. The Black Stewart looks so good when worn with formal attire. Your shoes are well polished too. Well done. I'm sure your lady was proud to be with you.

    Nice to see. I bought Kim tickets to the ballet, so I will be at Swan Lake next month, kilted of course.
    And, I got my first bottle of Macelllan. Nice, but not as good as a good single barrel bourbon like Kentucky Spirit.
