Good start, CMcG,

First of all, you look sharp, so well done.

I do appreciate what you're saying about the shirt's pattern not being apparent at a distance... it works, but I agree with Jersey Lawyer that you could get away with a bolder pattern still.

The different green shades (hose and kilt) might have bothered me a touch in the past, but not so much any more as my adapts. BTW, I think one of the most versatile colors of hose you can have is claret. They can work well with an "unmatched" array of almost any tone, and they also work well, IMHO, for formal wear.

So with this first outfit, I think you put your toe in the water, but let's see you dive in!... I'm looking forward to the "Jock specs" outfit next!

best

Oh, and red flashes? Yes! Any time I think.
