    I beg your pardon. I am NOT a "kilt obsessed internet geek".

    Um, in the first picture on the book cover, is the length of the tie (over the cummerbund) correct?
    Also the green kilt appears to be worn a little low? And are those hose tops uneven?
    In the second picture is that piper’s sporran worn too low (bottom edge below the bottom kilt edge)? What is the correct hang? Red and black hose with green kilt. Is that ok?
    Is the sporran in the third picture made of endangered fur?
    And in the final picture, do the hose seem too gray?

    Just asking…

    Yep. Those are diced hose. Trust Matt on this, and most everything else. He know's what he's talking about.

    Matt has great advice in this little book. I still like Thompson as well.
