White Vegan UK Workman's

First, thought, why not just go to skin? Don't worry about colors, skin goes well with the natural white of the UK.

Then added a soft colored shirt as suggested...

Note the updraft from the cliff, the golden eagles across the river love it.

Then added the soft colors of my new leather bomber jacket..

So, think I'm getting the hang of this...figuring out what works with the natural/white color of this UK.

Lookes great to me and I bet your RAF jacket would look great too but the tats might be over the top? :rolleyes:

Hamish, is that your house? Otherwise tell us about the nice looking building!

I think you also have a kilt for anything that comes up. Someone talks about a white kilt, and there you are in a white kilt! Great!

If only, Dale! If only! Alas, this is not my home. It is a simply beautiful Elizabethan country house, built in 1577/9, about two miles from where I live. I always try to take overseas friends there when they visit me, because the house with its stunning gardens is so quintessentially English and reeks of history. (See www.parhaminsussex.co.uk )

Yes, that was my intention before getting rid of every trousered item of clothing almost seven years ago. I was determined to be able to attend everything from a football match to a banquet at Buckingham Palace, and be correctly dressed for the occasion - in the kilt. With 59 kilts and several sets of accessories currently to my name, I guess I can do that! (See my Photo Album for a selection - link below).

Now, let's hand the thread back to Ron!!!

Ron, I think the additional pictures are a big improvement. I like the blue t-shirt with the white kilt. It also looks very good with the bomber jacket.

Thanks Darrell,

Took it out hiking one more day. Added a white cap which seemed to help balance things...

Hiking out at Wahweap Bay, Utah at the Coves.

the white kilt works with the tie dyed shiret very very well - probably better than any colored kilt might ... i vote for leaving it white & enjoying it as is!!!!

Once again Ron, top images. The tats are wicked mate, do when thou can.But you might get escorted from the mall with that look.
The tan jacket's good with the Vegan off white, so I reckon all those earth tones would do well. Maybe not "traditional" hose if there's any such thing any more, but stone, browns, olive and the army greens'd work fine as sugested. not the full on bright colours but medium and dusty ones.
And that said I'd love to see the Hopi embroidery. that'd make unique man, very choice. Then you'd have a very different kilt on your hands.

Hey Reggie,

I used to fence over 40 years ago in college. Bet a kilt would give you more manuverability - and advantage.

And Oz,

I'm down in Hopiland now, but looking at the kilt, no clue how they could embroider it other than the narrow apron, which would make it look like a loincloth....not sure that's the look I want.

Wore it to work yesterday and for the drive down to Hopi today...trying to break it in by wearing it a lot. Really coming to like it a lot....but then, I'm a sucker for most any kilt....

Ron
