Atlanta St. Andrews Society Burns Dinner

I note a whole lot of belts being worn with Prince Charlies with waistcoats by people who I suspect have been wearing kilts a lot longer than I have. I'm 'a 'tellin 'ya folks, like it or not, its becoming an accepted fashion in some parts.

Best regards,

Jake

Perfect words, Matt. This is what it often boils down to.

Matt, very nice photos.

I personally like where MacLean places his cap when he's not wearing it upon his head. I have wished on many occasions that more would not wear their caps indoors. I have observed that some feel they must wear all accessories at all times to show that they have some kind of a complete outfit. (I'm not referring to anyone in your photos Matt) My own observation since I've been back in Fl. Thus I am usually around lots of gents wearing an array of bonnets indoors, and for formal occasions as well.

I have worn my dirk only once, and for a 3 mile parade. I had to wear it on my right hip, otherwise I would have had a strange limp reaction for the following days. Like you Matt, I find the dirk a bit cumbersome.

Matt, I liked your threads. I noticed the different waistcoat and am pleased to know it is one you purchased from the link posted previously. I always liked the looks of most of the waistcoats and jackets from that vendor and fashioned them for kilt wear in my minds eye.

Looking very sharp - a very handsome couple indeed.

Nice photos and education. Thank you.

I notice today I'm still getting the red X's in my post. I double checked and th epicasa album the pics are in is indeed set to public view, so that shouldn't be a problem. I've never had this problem before with inserting images in my posts. Can a moderator maybe look at the post and see if there is something awry that I am missing? Thanks!

Thanks for the pictures, Matt. You and Mrs. Newsome make a fine couple. I especially liked the grey/black kilt and hose combination on the Master-at-Arms. I would have loved to have heard your Immortal Memory!

The pictures have been fixed, I had to upload them to my own photobucket account though.
