Lotta white hose goin' on there...
Just wanted to say that I thought your kit was right smart- especially your new brogues (I'm definitely envious). And the Chisolm is one of the handsomest tartans I've seen, especially in the weathered colours! I think you did right leaving the belt at home, too. Guid on ye!
Aye,
Wesley

My pleasure, sir! I was gonna say that I haven't worn a belt with my kit in several years, probably, and I never wear one if I've on a waistcoat. It's safe to say that being slender makes the kilt fit a lot better, regardless, so why would you need a belt unless it just looks that good/better? And from what I've seen, the belts rarely improve the look due to being worn sloppily... although in my case, when I wear my 8yd MacGregor of Cardney (hunting) tank without a waistcoat, I sometimes like to wear my 3" belt in order to balance out my proportions, myself being particularly long waisted and the kilt made to wear high etc.
I wanted to ask about your tartans, too: it looks as though your sweety is wearing the weathered Chisholm, and I would guess that yours is the hunting? I wonder because it also appears that both tartans have the very same sett??? I know most hunting tartans differ in both sett and colour from the "clan" tartan, although my MacGregor is at least one exception- ours simply changes from a red to a maroon/wine/burgundy background.
Cheers,
Wesley
