I seem to have lost some weight since the kilt was made, as it tends to slip a little. Not a problem when I'm wearing a belt, but I'll have to move the buckles (or gain five pounds) before taking this public.
Finally, the waitcoat is a trifle snug at the bottom. I was negligent in not having it fitted while wearing the kilt. The tailor marked it as he is accustomed to do, but the kilt is a bit thicker about my middle than my shirt. Lesson learned for next time.
Again, I thank you all for the compliments! You may be assured that every bit of good taste I displayed, I learned from you!
I see nothing wrong with the tie. I much prefer striped and crested ties to solid colour ones.
