    A good example of the use of colour, Panache. Normally, I dislike seeing woollen tops being worn 'tucked-in' at the waistband, but you manage to carry it off here. Just two things could be an improvement in my eyes: grey footwear to catch the kilt colour (in general, using the same colour for hose and footwear is not visually a good idea) - and losing those bright red flashes! They do nothing but distract, I'm afraid! If you must wear flashes with a Utilikilt (!) try matching the kilt colour.

    Altogether, forgetting the actual colours, you have matched the tonal quality of both of them - always effective!

    Thanks for all the kind words and helpful suggstions. Both are appreciated.

    To quote Hamish

    "...and losing those bright red flashes! They do nothing but distract, I'm afraid! If you must wear flashes with a Utilikilt (!) try matching the kilt colour."


    My lovely wife made me a set of gray flashes (as well as another set in green) this morning. I will pair the outfit henceforth with matching gray flashes.

    Cheers
