A Valentine's Day gift for me (and Jock Scot!)

[McClef]

You have elegantly proved that the deerstalker goes well with kilted attire!

[Jock Scot]

Phew! Phew! And thrice PHEW!!! Well done Star! You have put the earth back to spinning on an even keel again! When "the old man" is not looking, can you donate that bucket thing, otherwise known as a hat, to the needy in Outer Mongolia!

I am delighted for you Jamie and you wear your new bonnet well. Even you must admit that I was right all along in saying the "deerstalker" was, and now is, the way to go.

Cheers Sir!

Looks GREAT!!

Jamie,
Love the new topper. It looks great with both outfits. In the first outfit the "loafers" are fine. I have found that wearing slip on shoes with full kilt hose, that to keep the lower end of the hose from looking "scrunchie" that I need to pull them up a little taut, and on some pairs double roll the top so as to give the garter more grip and keep them even. The shoe colour, and the colours in the sporran pick up well with your hair and walking stick. A great visual effect sir.

Not being a staunch old tradtionalist, I think the bucket hat is more you, from a californian perspective. (No disrespect Jock)

Must be the Englishman in me but; the bucket is an individual statement whereas a deer stalker (unless you happen to be stalking deer at the time) is a bit of an affectation in California.

You look good in it Jamie 'tis true but it's not something I would or could wear. Not too many deer in the wilds of industrial Lancashire. Mind you, not too many Kilts either so who am I to talk.

Loafers? Bad choice of shoe for a grown man... It implies you can't tie your own laces. But that's my opinion of loafers with any attire, kilted or trousered.

The only non lace up shoes I have are 1 x flipflops for in the shower and 1 x Crocs for in my house. Outside? Laced every time! It's a mans thing. Any other shoe says 'Lounge Lizard'

By the way, another foible of mine, never trust a man who wears white shoes... Not that you do, it's just my thing.

Well then I must be quite the outdoors man in comparison to you then.

About a 1/2 mile from my house lies the start of the foothills of Los Gatos. many a time I have come across deer when walking in the gloaming* there.

I have even seen a bobcat and a fox on my walks.

Though I missed the wild turkeys (though my lovely wife did see them).

However I think the County would frown on my actions if I tried to to "bag" any of the above.

I'll settle for watching them with my field glasses.

Cheers

Jamie









* A $2 word just for you Alan!

By Jove, it actually changed the look in your eye. My immediate expression was: "Oh, MAN! That looks amazing" The hat really is a brilliant fit and has a very distinguished look 'bout it....and even matches your jacket.

Good Show, Chap! Good Show.ith:


ps~ In the latter of the two outfits, keep the tartan tie, but swap the blue hose for some 'Oatmeal color'...you can even substitute the light blue dress shirt with more of a khaki one. Cheers
