1 Kilt 10 Looks : A Visual Guide to Formality in Highland Attire

I love the pics! Especially the red and white diced hose, very sharp indeed! Below is a close up shot of my Macpherson red ancient kilt and my sporan molach, or hair sporran. It's made by L&M out of Novia Scotia, as all of my sporran are, with exception to my full mask sporrans-they are made in the Highlands by Kate Macpherson-link to follow. The cantle is heavy silver with embossed thistles, patent leather, and it features 6 short, black tassles with the same silver, thistle embossing for the cones. It is a custom made sporran designed by myself after the Macleay portrait of Lachlan Macpherson of Strathmashie who has a similar sporran, except his has the totem and crest of the Macphersons, a Scottish Wildcat on the cantle-I can not do that because it is soley the crest and property of the chief and must always be encircled by a belt and buckle. Would have looked great though with a silver rampant wildcat!

I recently got a tweed jacket, made by St Kilda. Its colours compliment my Drummond of Perth (muted) very nicely I think.

Here are two looks, one keeping more in line with the tweed, with grey hose and a grey striped wool necktie, the other with claret hose and necktie (too much red I think).





The claret hose at the bottom actually match the kilt well.

I don't show any sporran because I don't own a "day" sporran! That's my next project.

You make mention of "too much red" in I'm assuming you meant the second picture?
In my humble opinion this is not the case? I think it's looks amazing personally.
