revamping the look

[Porloff94]

Thanks to all for your input and ideas. I ended up doing the solo event with black 5 button vest, light blue shirt, Lovat blue hose, navy blue flashes, regimental-style yellow tie with a narrow navy stripe, seal skin sporran and glengarry. The blues worked well together as the over-all theme color. The mix of light and navy broke it up so as not to be over-powering. The yellow tie picked up the yellow stripe nicely. I went with the seal skin as opposed to my leather hunting sporran as the leather just looked a bit too dressed down for the tone of the event (Memorial Mass).

I am looking to rework the band's look as well. I'm leaning toward the hunting leathers with the chrome cantle and may visit the earlier mentioned light grey shirt option. It's easy to lay it out on the table and work it out. The big hurdle was convincing some of the powers-that-be to consider something besides white shirt, off white hose and tartan tie. Having gotten a few very favorable comments via the Drum Major (he was one of the event organizers, though not present as the DM), I think we may have made some progress. Here's hoping, anyway.
