    Talking Black on black on Black (kilt ninja style for wedding)

    Hello,

    This is my first post here.getting married in March to a girl with scottish parents (she was born here in New Zealand). I orginally agreed to kilts to apease the Mother in Law but have since got excited about it.

    I have just order 4 Night Stalker kilts from SWK (actually 5 because I stuffed up the order). Anyway I am looking to go black belt, black, sporan, black hose, and a black shirt either jacobite or plain). I wanted to go plain black kilt but decided it looked to much like a tennis skirt.

    Does anyone have pictures of someone in a simialr ensemble so I can get an idea of how it will look?

    Welcome to X-marks, and congrats on the upcoming nuptials. The nightstalker is a handsome, subdued tartan, and I think you'll be pleased. For a wedding, I would go with a plain shirt, but that's just a matter of personal taste.

    Best regards,

    Jake

    I would go for the plain shirt as I would think that a Jacobite shirt may look too costume like.

    I'm not a fan of the Jacobite shirts unless at Highland games or renfairs. My advise would be to go with a plain black shirt.

    I also vote the plain black shirt. Somewhere on this forum is a picture posted by Panache with nightstalker kilt and black hose, black shirt, etc.

    Before you do something drastic, go out and rent "So I Married An Ax Murderer" with Mike Myers and Nancy Travis. Skip forward to the wedding scene and take a good look at how good Mike Myers looks in a kilt. Beg, borrow, or rent a black Bonnie Prince Charlie, buy some snow white kilt socks (not oatmeal, not fluffy acrylic) with solid color flashes, borrow a sgian dhub with a stone in the pommel, buy a white tuxedo shirt with a black bow tie plus black wingtip shoes. Black is not the color for a wedding. If you have to wear a Jacobite shirt, wear a white one with a colorful vest over it. This will be the handsomest day of your life and you can trust me on that.

    Welcome to the Rabble!

    from Sunny Southern California

    We are talking about a wedding here?

    My opinion - Plain black shirt!

    Keep the Jacobites for the ren-fare thingies.
