    Nicely colour co-ordinated, David. I'd like to think that sometime you might try grey hose when wearing that shirt - just for a change! Also, and with respect, your sporran looks uncomfortably high to me. Have you tried it an inch or two lower?

    Finally, I'd recommend that you look out for an all-leather sporran strap. I know chain-straps have become popular in recent years, but really they were intended for wear with full-dress sporrans. More importantly, if worn frequently, the chains can cause untold damage to the kilt - and no-one wants that!

    Nice look! Casual enough for daywear, but classy enough for dinner any place that doesn't REQUIRE jacket & tie.

    That's a really crisp-looking kilt. Very nice.
