Casual Black Watch

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Thanks for the comments all. No sugestions for oatmeal hose, hmmmh?

I am not trying to exactly copy Ham, but I had noticed that his photos were always so much fun to view because he had such a great smile and looked like he was enjoying himself. I decided to take my pictures in a better setting than my kitchen and enjoy myself while doing so. The particular pose just works well to show off the kilt and accessories.

Anyway, Colin I have tried to grow facial hair before. After 4 days and my wife asking "Have you stopped shaving yet?" I determined that I did not inherit the facial gene from my father! I can literally go 3 days without shaving, and go to work on the third day, and nobody will notice. Or if they do, they say "Forget to shave this morning?".

However, a kind Xmarker (who shall remain anonymous as he did not include his XMarks name!) sent me the pic below. I showed it to my wife and daughters. My wife said I looked like my father (a long time beard person), my youngest asked why I had mud on my face (LOL), and the oldest asked why my face was dirty! Personally, I kind of like the look, and might have to consider letting the facial hair grow. Always wanted a beard or moustache (father and step-Dad's influence), and I am going to surprise some family members by fowarding this a a real picture, since I have not seen many of them in a while. And BTW, does this pic remind anyone of another XMarker?

KCW,

You are getting in touch with your inner Hamish. ..............................

WOW! I love that. What a compliment (to me!!!)

[Hamish]

Considering that I could never wear Black Watch (or Royal Stewart), I think you are making that tartan wearable! Not only is it a fine-looking kilt, but the polo shirt (I LOVE polos with kilts) is perfectly co-ordinated, the hose too (but they still look thin!). If you were wearing the hose pulled up, I'd have criticised you for being too 'bottle green', but folded down they are not too much at all. Maybe you do need heavier-looking footwear to perfect the 'visual' - just a thought following on from Colin's comment.

PS: Please don't do the beard! It ages you, and we all need to hang on to as much 'youth' as we can muster. It disappears quickly enough of its own accord - I speak from experience! I have twice grown beards but never really liked myself with them, and the last time a friend asked, "why are you hiding behind all that hair?" It made me think, and I realised that she had a valid point!

Rob,

I have to agree. Nice look. I like all the greens. You almost blend in with the foliage! Hmmm, highland camo?

Oh, there's a belly there, just that the belt is holding it in! I'll keep working on the hose, although I might need to take a closer pic, because they really are scrunched down, actually folded over abou 3 times, then pushed down. And they do have some serious thickness, at least to me. And the boots are the ones below, not sure I want anything heavier, these are very comfortable:
