That is just what I was thinking as I looked at the pictures-stunning kilt.

Beautiful, and I will add my appreciation to the effect of the hidden red stripes.

Another beautiful kilt, Robert. Lady Chrystal is an artist. The tartan is her palette, the needle and thread her brush, and the kilt a work of art.

Oh! That kilt is just STUNNING! My warmest congratulations to Lady Chrystel for her superb needlework, and to you for wearing it so well. I am, of course, unashamedly jealous.
If I have any criticism to make it would be with regard to your red-top hose. Whilst the colours co-ordinate very well, my eye is caught by the two expanses of 'red' which, I find, detract from the beautiful kilt slightly. Given a choice, I would opt for bottle green or blue topped hose rather than the red - but that's just me! I should not be commenting in this manner as the kilt is just too gorgeous and the accessories very much take second place!
As has been stated: you are a very fortunate and lucky man to be blessed with such a charming and talented wife.
Take care,
Ham.

I long hesitated before putting on those red hose tops ! 
I think I will choose bottle green hose tops for daywear promenades, and navy blue hose tops with solid red garters for dressier eveningish wear.
Thank you for your warm comments that I will immediately translate to Chrystel.
Best,
Robert
