    What kilted outfit would you wear?

    I thought briefly about writing a list of my options or an inventory of my kollection but decided against it. By asking what other people would wear, I might get ideas that I wouldn't otherwise have considered!

    If I owned the stuff...a muted "hunting" tartan, tweed vest and tattersall shirt, brogues ("ghillie" or not, nbd...probably not), dressed-down sporran, tie that works for you, hat if you got one, no hat if you don't, hose that work, not scrunched, no matchy matchy or overly bright/bold stuff except the tie and flashes.

    packing

    Thanks for the suggestions. The one that stood out to me was the hunting tartan. I don't have one, but that's an interesting idea that I hadn't thought of.

    My flight is this evening and I'm starting to pack my bags. The weather is looking a little cooler but sunny (hi 22 Celcius, low 7 or 71.6 and 44.6 Farenheit).

    From the ground up:
    - Canadian Army parade boots, properly shined
    - lovat green hose and grey flashes
    - burl wood, full tang sgian
    - Douglas Modern tartan, 4 yard, 16 oz, wool kilt
    - plain kilt pin
    - black leather hunting sporran
    - black duty belt
    - khaki, mandarin collar shirt
    - lovat green, Harris Tweed day jacket

    Sort of matchy, but the jacket and hose are two different shades of lovat green. I'm on the hunt for a bargain on a tattersall shirt, which I might swap in if I can find one in time... I'll bring some other gear just in case.

    Back up kit:
    - brown Tilley hat (in case the sun is really beating down)
    - silver/grey necktie
    - black waistcoat
    - white shirt

    Any last minute recommendations?
