over doing the bling?

[longhuntr74]

Here is what I wear with the kilt to black tie functions:
1. navy blue velvet doublet with scarlet facings. Silver crested buttons. Tartan waistcoat--or no waistcoat even. Diced, or tartan hose or solid colour hose. Either an otter mask sporran or goat hair sporran.

To some eyes, when I am dressed like this I certainly stand apart from the crowd, there is no getting around that.

Sandy,
That jacket you mention is definitely one that makes you stand out! One of a kind and absolutely exquisite in my opinion! I know you've sent me a picture of it on a hanger? Do you happen to have a picture to share with the masses of you wearing this fine outfit? Is there any significance to your scarlet facings?
