SIR, The ensemble you have put together, IMHO, is FANTASTIC And your sharing the various "LOOKS" is APPRECIATED.

I enjoyed looking at the different variations of outfits Thank you.

Thanks for all the nice words, gentlemen. It's been a lot of fun putting the kit together. I had occasion to wear it to a fundraiser chaired by my wife in November. I received many favorable comments (especially from the ladies), had an anonymous fellow take a picture of my pleats, and was nearly 'checked' by, of all people, a gay lady friend of ours. Fortunately, years of martial arts training allowed me to parry her attempted assault. :-)

Your patience and perseverance paid great dividends in putting your kit together. Congratulations on a job well done. It looks fantastic.

I liike that tartan! And, the belt is unique and handsome. You took your time in selecting your kit and you did yourself well.

Very nice turn out!

You've demonstrated that a kilt can be whatever we want it to be. From formal to casual, sharp or relaxed, even uniform-ish looks grand!

Well done, Jeff!

Jeff,

You are going to have to work on getting some proper accessories with these two outfits

A proper safari outfit requires both a fly whisk and a gin and tonic as seen here

Where is your bullwhip?

Seriously though, you have assembled yourself some very nice kit there. I love my IoS kilt and both welcome you to the IoS club and applaud your sense of humor.

ith: Cheers

WOW! Sir, you seem to have indeed "cracked the code" and you display impeccable taste, not only in your choice of vendors but in your ability to accessorize. In comparison with you, I spent several months looking like a buffoon!
