Review my attire 2.

Well, Jock, I really enjoyed this thread and Sandy's and think you both look great... but in all honesty, looking through my kit and old pics I think I might qualify as being stuck in "match-mode". So, if you agree with that assessment, I'll toss my name in the hat.

You are in!Your name will be in the hat. Thank you so much for joining in.

Great idea, Jock. I can't wait to see how this comes out. ...wishing I had a tweed kilt jacket...

You look very smart Jock, well done!

Here is the deal. This volunteer will have to be known to me as being from the "every thing must match" school of thought -----I know who some of you are-----who has an adventurous streak and is perhaps from the ranks of the newer kilt wearing brigade . He will need a traditional style tartan kilt(box pleats will do), a tattersall shirt, traditional tweed day jacket (waist coat optional), brown/black brogues(wingtips, but NOT ghillie brogues), traditional day sporran, any colour other than white hose and flashes/garter ties.

Apart from the tweed jacket matching with the waist coat, the hose matching with each other, same with the flashes/shoes (perhaps sporran) NOTHING MUST MATCH in a significant way.Think of my pictures, Sandy's pictures and pictures of that style that you may have seen on this website.

When this volunteer has assembled his kit and PM's me his postal address, I will send him a tie(free of charge)and that he must wear it with the above gear, have a picture taken and publish it here with your thoughts on how you look and feel.

The tie will be along traditional Regimental lines and it will be yours to keep. You will not upset any "Old Soldier" by wearing this tie at any time at any place, but the money from the purchase(by me) of this tie will be going to a very worthy cause.

So who is it going to be? If there are more than one applicant their names will be put in a hat and my dear wife will draw ONE name. The "lucky" fellow's name will be announced on this thread. Offer closes on 20th of August 2010 at 1200hrs BST(Jock time).

Right then it is past the closing time of 1200hrs BST(Jock time).

-----------and the lucky man is------KFCarter!

Sadly that means that CMcG has been unlucky. I am so sorry about that, but that is the way life goes, I suppose.

Thank you both for having a go and the tie will be winging its way across the Atlantic as soon as I have a postal address. So KFC its down to you.

Can I assure every one that this tie can be worn by any one, it is of Regimental style and has the colours of a well respected and proud British military charity, it is in fact their official tie. KFC once you have "done your duty" and if you decide that you don't like it(you may not, after all!)then please give it to some one at Xmarks that will.I look forward to the pictures.

Standing by with tartan, tweed and tattersall at the ready. Even without having seen the tie, I'm confident in saying that I'll be very proud to wear it.

best
