Very nice colors. Who's the cilt maker?
I agree, change the shirt and I like the hose color - a bit paler than lovat green.

I like what I see. The shirt I may have problems with, but the smile seems to offset that.

Trefor,
It is good to see another wearer of the St.Davids tartan, and you wear it well (although I have to agree with others' comments regarding the shirt - sorry!). I am intrigued, however, as a non-Welsh speaking sort-a fella, by your description in Welsh: "Dewi Sant Cenedlaethol". When I bought mine from the Wales Tartan Centre in Cardiff in 2005, I was told that it is "Brithwe Dewi Sant". Was I misinformed or are there different ways of naming the tartan?
and here is a shot of the pleats, with different shirt and hose:

Love the kilt.
I tried to do the "Lord Hamish" stance once in the mirror and believe it or not, you look lots better than I did. Good first attemps. Keep at it, lad. You'll get there!

Thanks for all the comments so far - much appreciated! I must apologise for the shirt, getting a photographer and my total wardrobe choices together is not always easy! (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  )
The Lovat Green kilt jacket came from Hector Russell in Edinburgh (Royal Mile Branch) and seems to match most of my kilts well.

"Brithwe" is Welsh for "tartan" Hamish, whereas "cenedlaethol" means "national" so the Cardiff shop called it "St David's Tartan" as opposed to the name of the Tartan being "St David's National." (as it is in English and from which I did a direct translation). I guess you could have "Brithwe Cenedlaethol Dewi Sant" and encompass the fact that it's a tartan and its name. It's not uncommon for a Welsh and English phrase for something to be expressed slightly differently.
Everyone has to start somewhere so I hope to progress from beginner in Hamishing to something more expert. I had the sun in my eyes and was trying to instruct friend Michael in how to use the camera and he was having problems with zooming it for some strange reason so he wasn't necessarily capturing the ideal moments!

A teeter-totter is an American for a see-saw. So in essence you were seeing when you should've been sawing!!! The American version does make more sense.

Nice looking McClef! I have to get one of those. Is it a USAK?
