    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 may have been the guy a co-worker of mind said she saw at the Opera. She said how very nice he looked and tried to get her husband interested in getting an outfit, but no dice.

    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.

    A wonderful evening

    It sure looks like it was a wonderful evening. My partner (of 35 years) and I had one at the ballet. Same reactions from others. How I love, women in skirts and beautiful dresses and men in kilts.
